With eyes on the starting rotation, who will be the fifth starter in that rotation after the spring? Also, Johan Oviedo's upside gives him a good chance to earn a spot in the rotation.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the candid comments Werner made about the Rafael Devers' saga and losing Alex Bregman. Also, should fans want ownership to speak out honestly or just to squash any stories that come up? And, Devers may still be in a Red Sox uniform if first base didn't become an issue with Triston Casas going down last season.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Just when we thought there wasn't anything noteworthy to come out of Fort Myers, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have plenty of thoughts after hearing from Sam Kennedy. What to make of Kennedy saying Alex Bregman didn't want to be with the Red Sox and how to treat when ownership speaks to the media? Then, Masataka Yoshida seems like the forgotten player on the Sox roster and no one knows what exactly his role will be in 2026. And, its not just the starting rotation that has depth and Triston Casas and Kristian Campbell are likely to start the year in Worcester.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): There are a few young players in MLB with higher expectations than Roman Anthony, who, one year ago, was living life as baseball's top prospect. So, it only made sense for Bradfo to kick off his spring training coverage by sitting down with Anthony to reflect on his wild year, while also taking a deep dive into his new existence. It's always entertaining when these two get together, and this is no exception.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Right before pitchers and catchers report to JetBlue Park, the Red Sox make a big trade to finally fill that void in the infield. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give their thoughts on Caleb Durbin and others being acquired from Milwaukee for Kyle Harrison and David Hamilton among names sent back. Also, Durbin has shown to be versatile so its anyone's guess where he'll be on the infield on Opening Day.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): We are now less than one week away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Fort Myers and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are wondering if a trade is coming anytime soon.

Then, it could come down to the Sox not being able to make a deal since its so late in the offseason. And, if the Sox don't make another move, they'll have to choose between David Hamilton and Nick Sogard who should start at second base.

Then, the guys get into into it with each other about Eugenio Suarez signing with the Reds if the sox should have been more aggressive to get him. And, its becoming more and more likely whoever starts the year at second base will be internal and Kristian Campbell is a polarizing name many haven't paid attention to.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): So, who is Kyson Witherspoon? Well, he was a first-round pick by the Red Sox last year, having starred on the mound for the Oklahoma Sooners. He recently gained notoriety thanks to a viral video showing him learn a new sweeper in a few minutes. And he just might be the 2026 version of Trey Yesavage if anything breaks right for him and the Red Sox.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat keep waiting for the Red Sox to make a trade to add to their lineup and land on the Cubs' Matt Shaw. Should the Sox try to acquire Shaw and how would he fit in their lineup? Then, Craig Breslow maybe shared some info about the kind of infielder he's looking for that is more defensive oriented.
