The Christian Arcand Show

Christopher Smith of MassLive joins Arcand to try to make some sense of the Red Sox' slow start to the 2026 season. Smith provides more clarity on the team's recent struggles and the early benching of Carlos Narvaez. Mike Vrabel said the Patriots' goal is to win another Super Bowl, while Robert Kraft just hopes to get back to the playoffs.

Why did Alex Cora bench Carlos Narvaez this early into the season? Could that situation help spark something? If the team can't turn it around, are Alex Cora's days as the Red Sox Manager numbered? Who deserves the blame for this slow start?

Arcand reacts to arguably the best game of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum's careers together. How far can this team go in the playoffs? Who deserves the credit for the Bruins' season? Can they get revenge against the Panthers who have had their number the past few seasons?

Arcand opens the show recapping a brutal start for the Red Sox. The team has looked bad in pretty much every area early on, what can be done to right the ship before it's too late? We react to Alex Speier's article on the team's slow start, and try to figure out where they go from here.
