The Red Sox return to Boston 10.5 games up on the New York Yankees, primed to start their homestand series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Ian Kinsler and Blake Swihart will make their respective entrances this weekend after each being on the disabled list for a couple of weeks. Brian Johnson gets the game one start tonight. 

Boston had another rough time producing runs against the NL East leading Phillies on Tuesday night, falling 3-1 to split the quick two-game set at Fenway Park.  Drew Pomeranz lost for the fourth straight time, while Xander Bogaerts drove in the only Sox run and Blake Swihart moved his hitting streak to 11 games.

The Red Sox can put the Yankees even further in the rear view mirror this weekend...so let's fuckin do it. We open talking Coley's wild trip down south, Xander Bogaerts' injury concern, Sale going to the DL and how worried we should be about that, Brian Cashman's laughable comments about the Sox, Blake Swihart being SO alive right now, and close with a Fuckin with Hubbs segment that previews every angle of this upcoming Red Sox-Yankees series in Boston. Enjoy!

It was Blake Swihart in the bottom of the 13th inning who walked it off for the Red Sox on a deep fly ball to right field. David Price threw a gem lasting eight full giving up just one run and the bullpen held the Phillies down for the remainder of the night giving the Sox the W, 2-1. 

On this episode of the Red Sox Unfiltered podcast, hosts Dave Latham and Patrick Green discuss potential Red Sox trade deadline moves, getting Blake Swihart more at-bats and Nathan Eovaldi's impact. All this and much more! To find out what that much more is you must listen with your ears. Music: Night Owl (Broke For Free)

We've had enough of Dwew, you've had enough of Dwew, it's time to let it all out. We open talking the release of the Ted Williams "Citrus Hills Fuck This" shirts and how excited people already are for these bad boys, PFT Commenter has a smoking hot take, then we get into destroying Drew Pomewranz for being absolutely terrible at throwing a baseball effectively. We then talk how Blake Swihart is for sure still alive, the Sox acquiring flamethrower Nathan Eovaldi, randomly debate favorite baseball movie of this century, give Bill Mueller the credit he deserves for potentially being a huge reason why David Ortiz is what he is today, and re-visit the Sox-Yankees 2004 brawl with a ridiculous twist. We discuss JD Martinez not being human, Coley invents a new rule that will change MLB forever, and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions. Enjoy!

Mookie Betts is back, FINALLY. We open talking how the Sox just can't be losing a series to the Sox. That leads us to reminding you to not kill Blake Swihart, what can be done to fix the bottom of the Red Sox lineup, if a Manny Machado trade to Boston would make any sense, where we want to see the next Section 10 shirt pop up, backstory of how we thought we got catfished last week, much-needed suggestions on how to fix Rafael Devers, Steven Wright being the hottest player on the team, Drew Pomeranz needing to flee the country, suggestions for NESN, a blast from the past and close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions.

Should the Red Sox consider demoting Jackie Bradley Jr.? With JD Martinez raking, did the Sox get it right not trading for Giancarlo Stanton?

Martinez continued his hot streak and is on an MVP-type pace.

This week the Red Sox are still tied atop the A.L. East. What also is the same is Blake Swihart's playing time. The catcher's agent demanded a trade this week and Red Sox Beat is new talking that request! Also, Carson Smith done with the Red Sox?! That take and more on the new injury on this episode! Other topics: JD and Mookie are mashing, Benintendi looks great, Jose Bautista released from Braves...is his career over?  

With Carson Smith's bizarre injury we are now left with a classic case of he said, he said. Smith blames being overused for the injury, and Alex Cora calls bullshit. We debate this odd situation, break down how much a student of the game JD Martinez really is, what the hell the Sox should do about Blake Swihart, answer your DM and twitter questions, have a big name for our Red Sox Bingo segment, and close by honoring Doc Wylie - A man that meant so much to us and the Endicott College community.

The Arizona Fall League rosters have been released, and the Red Sox are sending an interesting crew into the desert in October. The news highlights included Jay Groome's season ending with an injury, the in-game debut of a 2017 draftee and the on-mound debut of another, and a few transactions of note. And finally, you came through with an 80-grade set of mailbag questions. Why doesn't raw power always actualize in games? Might Mookie Betts ever move back to second base? Where would Blake Swihart rank if he were still eligible for the site rankings?

And many recent top Sox Prospects are in Arizona with the Padres or the White Sox. The time has come to survey the state of the system and some of the Non Roster Invitees to camp. Andrew Benintendi has bulked up. Rafael Devers is in Big League camp along with an interesting mix of post-prospect guys, like Blake Swihart.

BLAKE SWIHART has the yips! Red Sox Beat breaks down this news that has been swirling around Fort Myers this week. Also, we answer the question, "Will Hanley have another good season?" The team also talks Pablo Sandoval, Drew Pomeranz and other news surrounding the team and this week in Spring Training. We round out episode 124 with MLB news, including an older gentleman trying to renter the big leagues.

Rick Porcello's been clutch on the mound at home. MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Red Sox reporter Ian Browne spotlight Porcello's consistency at Fenway, discuss Andrew Benintendi's stellar start and what the club plans to do with Blake Swihart after he comes back from ankle surgery.

It's been a month, but Chris came back from being a big shot andgot back on the horn with Matt and Ian to discuss the season'sfirst month. Things kick off with the first edition of the Big 4Update, looking at whether Yoan Moncada's strikeouts are a concernand why Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers flipped in the siterankings update on May 1. Then the guys gave us their notes fromthe field from the first month. Chris had the latest from Salem,with reports on Moncada, Benintendi, Devers, Trey Ball, and others.Then Ian and Matt responded with the word from Pawtucket on SamTravis and Deven Marrero. Finally, the guys aired it out on whetherit is a good idea for Blake Swihart to start getting reps in leftfield, and what's gotten into the big riser in the May 1 rankings,Teddy Stankiewicz.

In Episode 3 of “The Red Seat”, Jake Devereaux (@DevJake) and Matt Kory (@mattymatty2000 ) discuss the latest Red Sox news. Topics include: Was Craig Kimbrel worth what it cost to acquire him?What to do with Joe Kelly and how long is his leash?The Blake Swihart demotion fiasco and what it means going forward.The .500 record is put in some perspective and we look forward to the next two series.We also don't even mention Pablo Sandoval....in a Red Sox podcast.

The Red Sox won their second consecutive series against the Blue Jays over the weekend, but the troubling signs with the team still outweigh the wins on the field. Pablo Sandoval's mysterious shoulder injury seems to be legitimate –– why else would he visit Dr. James Andrews? –– but it's sad when the Red Sox are probably relieved that their $95 million third baseman may be out of action for a while. The Sox have no plan with Sandoval and this injury bites them time. With the number of stories coming out over the last couple of weeks about Sandoval's apparent lifelong battle with an eating disorder, it also seems as if the Red Sox didn't do any homework before they signed him. Either that, or they ignored the facts. It's difficult to tell which reality is worse. It's also tough to feel good about the Red Sox's decision to demote Blake Swihart and have him try out at left field. Christian Vazquez is a terrific defensive catcher and might be the best guy for the job. But it's much too early to give up on Swihart, which is what this move appears to be. And lastly, can someone please explain John Farrell's fascination with Chris Young? That might be the most bizarre development of the season, which says a lot. Follow Alex on Twitter, @AlexReimer1. (Towards the end of the show, Alex shares his thoughts on 700 episodes of Without a Curse.)

At the dish and behind it, Blake Swihart isn't letting up. Red Sox reporter Ian Browne catches up with Swihart to find out how he balanced managing pitchers and remaining offensively sound and how he'll improve upon all of this in 2016.

Hanley Ramirez is gearing up for a season at first base. MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Red Sox reporter Ian Browne spotlight Ramirez's move to the infield and if this can help improve his game and whether or not Blake Swihart can secure the starting catching position.

With Chris returning from the other side of the world, he got Ian and Matt on the horn to look back at the season's first month. The guys talked about the new rankings' movers and shakers, as well as some recent MLB call-ups and the outlook for players like Blake Swihart, Jackie Bradley, and Matt Barnes. The guys also had plenty to report from the field(s), having seen Pawtucket, Portland, and Greenville already in this young season. Listen for reports on Henry Owens, Rafael Devers, and more! Finally, in response to reader questions, the guys quickly discussed the Red Sox' potential plans for the number 7 pick in next month's draft.

Which players' hot starts are for real? Mike Siano and Cory Schwartz play Buy, Sell or Hold with early season hot starts by players like Devon Travis, Dallas Keuchel, Chris Archer, Bartolo Colon and more. They also give their takes on some waiver wire possibilities like Blake Swihart, Chris Heston and James Paxton. And, as always, the guys answer your trade and lineup Twitter questions.

Well, that was a week wasn't it? With the Red Sox trading Allen Webster, Rubby De La Rosa, Raymel Flores, Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Wilson, Gabe Speier, and Myles Smith in deals for Wade Miley, Rick Porcello, and Zeke Spruill, as well as signing former SoxProspects.com number 1 prospect Justin Masterson (oh, and there was the failed pursuit of Jon Lester), Chris and Matt had plenty to talk about. Plus, your emails asked about who will lead off and about the defensive prowess of Christian Vazquez and Blake Swihart.

After a bit of a break, Chris, Matt, and Ian had some things to discuss. Ian and Chris have seen Portland recently, and they had plenty to dish after seeing one of the most prospect-laden teams in the country, on players like Mookie Betts, Blake Swihart, Henry Owens, Brian Johnson, Sean Coyle, and the very recently promoted Travis Shaw (so recent that he was still in Portland when we recorded). We also answered your emails and talked about which prospects in the system are due for a promotion. You know Sergio? Join us!

With three days of camp to catch up on, there was plenty for the guys to talk about. In the second dispatch from the Fort, the guys talk about what they've seen from Anthony Ranaudo, Allen Webster, Myles Smith, Garin Cecchini, Blake Swihart, Rafael Devers, and more!

No guest this week, but an action-packed episode nonetheless! Chris and Matt play some audio from interviews with Blake Swihart, Mookie Betts, and Drake Britton from New Stars for Young Stars, and along with Ian, get back to the inbox with more than a month of emails to answer. Questions hit on players changing positions, how the current crop of pitching prospects compares to past groups, the Rookie Development Program, and more. And in this episode's Where Are They Now?, we covered the prospects in the Erik Bedard trade. (Note: We apologize for the errors contained in a previously uploaded version of this episode. Those issues should now be fixed.)

Inside this edition of 201CWithout a Curse,201D Alex previews the upcoming GM Meetings and talks about the latest rumors surrounding the world champion Red Sox. Alex discusses the statuses of Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli, Stephen Drew and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and gives his take on the likelihood of them returning to the Red Sox. Though all four are good players, the Red Sox shouldn2019t overextend themselves for any of them. Ellsbury played well in a Red Sox uniform, and was most certainly a part of the team2019s core. But it would be a poor decision to invest over $100 million in him long term, especially given the track record of other outfielders who have recently received $100 million contracts. Napoli seems to fit the Red Sox perfectly, and is worthy of a multi-year deal. In a market bereft of power bats, however, his services may be difficult to come by. The Red Sox should be willing to overpay for Napoli on a yearly basis in exchange for a short-term commitment. A two-year, $30 million contract would be an overpay worth making. Drew apparently has numerous suitors on the open market, and he should. After all, he2019s an elite shortstop. Ideally, the Red Sox would like to sign him to a two-year extension, but it seems as if he2019ll command a three-year deal worth more than $40 million in free agency. If that2019s the case, the Red Sox should move on and put Xander Bogaerts at shortstop for the next decade. But there2019s no mandate to play Bogaerts at shortstop immediately. It would be a better left side of the infield with Bogaerts at third base and Drew at shortstop than with Will Middlebroks at third and Bogaerts at short . Unfortunately, that may not be feasible. Saltalamacchia wasn2019t presented with a qualifying offer, and it was the right move for the Red Sox to make. Saltalamacchia would be vastly overpaid at $14.1 million for one season, and his flaws were exposed in October. However, he had the fourth-highest OPS among catchers with at least 450 plate appearances last season, and his game-calling has improved immensely. Saltalamacchia would be the ideal bridge to catching prospects Christian Vazquez and/or Blake Swihart. The problem is, he may command a four-year this winter. If that2019s the case, the Red Sox should walk away and sign another veteran to pair with David Ross. Alex also talks about the possibilities of Carlos Beltran, Brian McCann and other veteran free agents joining the Red Sox. In the 201CAround the League201D segment, Alex explains why a boatload of money will be thrown around this offseason, and also shares what he thinks the owners2019 number one priority should be this week at their meetings. Email Alex at areimer@bu.edu, and follow him on Twitter @AlexReimer1.

Chris Hatfield got on the horn with Chris Mellen and Jon Meoli to talk about the goings on at the southern affiliates, Salem and Greenville, in this edition of the podcast. Among the players they dished on: Matt Barnes, Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley, Henry Owens, Blake Swihart, and Garin Cecchini. The guys also chatted briefly about Ryan Kalish's return to the major leagues and the growing list of Sox draft picks to sign.
