From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are ready for everyone to calm down about the situation involving Rafael Devers wanting to stay at third base. Triston Casas may have added fuel to the fire, but the guys don't have any issue with it since the clubhouse doesn't seem to either. Also, the bullpen continues to grow with veteran additions of Adam Ottavino and Matt Moore which is a great problem for the Red Sox to have approaching their first set of Spring Training games. Also, is Kutter Crawford best served in the bullpen and who should be the team's closer to begin the year?

We start this episode with Triston Casas talking about Rafael Devers' leadership at third base, agreeing with Devers that he's the guy at the position, and discussing how that dynamic strengthens the team. Triston also opens up about his recovery from injury, his plans to stay healthy, and the quickly rising expectations surrounding the Red Sox this season. He shares his experience facing tough lefties in Spring Training like Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman, how it is helping him grow, and what it's been like to no longer hear his name in trade rumors. Triston dives into his self-critical nature, especially after the Netflix trailer, and gives us an update on whether extension talks with the Red Sox are underway. The conversation shifts to Red Sox prospects, as Triston gives his thoughts on Khristian Campbell, Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer, and their potential contributions to the future of the team. Plus, the Red Sox are back, and there's a lot to be excited about. We also discuss Masataka Yoshida's underrated offense and what role he'll play this season. Tom and Lou break down the importance of Jarren Duran to the team and how the Red Sox will shape their outfield this year. With Roman Anthony likely starting in Triple-A, the team's strategy with young talent is a key topic. Lastly, Lucas Giolito is ready to return from injury, and we catch up with him for a quick interview to learn how he can bolster the rotation. Plus, Adam Ottavino is back on a minor league deal—what will he bring to the bullpen?

SERIES 2 EPISODE 191: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The polls continue to underscore it. Trump's conviction, just twelve days ago, is already half as important in voters' decision-making process as where the candidates stand on immigration. 28% tell CBS the convictions are a "major factor" for them, yet this number is dismissed because it isn't by itself decisive. A separate Morning Consult poll says Trump's net favorability is now four points below that of Biden's - because of the trial.  And yet the President, and his advisors, and the old men of the Democratic Party continue to contrive to keep Joe Biden from saying the truth in public. He says the impact of the convictions is for the public to decide. No! That's for the public to decide? This isn't an American Idol vote. This isn't Coke versus Pepsi. This is democracy or dictatorship and most people don't know and YOU, Mr. President, have to make the case. You don't have to sink to Trump's brain-damaged rhetorical level but “that's for the public to decide?” HELP THEM DECIDE. TELL THEM THE TRUTH. Part of the problem is: the campaign seems to be incapable of realizing it can do multiple attacks on Trump - from criminality to dictatorship to the price of orange juice. I'll give some examples of the variety of ads they could run. MEANWHILE: KNOTTED BY WINDSOR. Justice Alito makes a fool of himself as my friend the investigative journalist Lauren Windsor records him agreeing that either the right or left will "win" - and he had a much better visit with her than did his wife. Martha-Ann Alito promises to get revenge against everybody, fly an anti-LGBTQ flag, and sue the bunch of them. It turns out everything we thought about them was comparatively positive. AND JUST FOR LAUGHS: Jonathan Turley has declared Trump "elderly." B-Block (34:44) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Alleged Democratic governor Hochul of New York, after freezing NYC congestion prices, apparently bails out on fundraiser hosted by auto dealers. Marge Barney Rubble Greene thinks electric cars run on gasoline. Politico with the typo of the year, about a fabulous "head of head." C-Block (40:21) FROM THE SPORTS CENTRAL CENTER NEWSDESK TONIGHT: I moved this last in case you are NOT a baseball fan of 57 seasons' duration whom the game is losing. The Athletic publishes its survey of current players and guess what! Turns out they all invented the game, and anybody who played before about 2010 was incompetent and irrelevant. Worse yet, somebody grabs my personal third rail, insulting Babe Ruth. Which means I have to go through mediocre reliever Adam Ottavino's 2018 contention that he would strike Babe Ruth out every time he faced him. If you brought Babe Ruth into baseball 2024 and gave him its tiny ballparks and elaborate video scouting and training regimens, he would hit 255 homers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets bring Adam Ottavino back to the bullpen, and the offseason starts to wind down. Connor and Joe look at other relief pitchers the team might still sign in free agency, and start to accept the idea that the Mets are unlikely to use free agency to sign a new DH. The guys go long on the idea of Mark Vientos getting a real long look as the designated hitter in 2024, before going down on the farm to see when offense might come to the Mets from the likes of position prospects Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna, and Jett Williams. Finally, the show opens the Mailbag for questions about bounce-back season candidates, pitchers holding runners, more one-year deals for relievers, and the “quiet” offseason across all of MLB.

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are back with another episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets look to fill their present bullpen and look to build their future starting rotation. Connor and Joe explore the current free agent market for relief pitchers that can help the team in 2024, including Hector Neris, Adam Ottavino, and others that are still out there to be signed. Later, the guys go down on the farm for a long-term look at the future of the Mets starting rotation by talking about the development of prospects like Blade Tidwell, Tyler Stuart, Dom Hamel, Justin Jarvis, and Calvin Ziegler. Connor and Joe also go down the designated hitter rabbit hole once again, chatting up the DH options in free agency (hello again Jorge Soler, Rhys Hoskins how are you?) and also wonder if the Mets just plan to roll with Mark Vientos instead. Finally, the show jumps into the Mailbag for questions about City Connect jerseys, faith in prospects Christian Scott and Mike Vasil, and which of the present members of the starting rotation will potentially be part of future starting staffs.
