Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the Ha-Seong Kim, Adrian Houser, and Foster Griffin signings, a prospect-for-prospect Red Sox and Nationals trade, and the Twins’ partial sale, then (34:00) answer emails about saying “pitchoff” instead of “first pitch,” the value of a cool nickname, a Hall of Fame reference in The Wizard of Oz, whether teams value batter performance against elite pitching, protesting ball/strike calls from the dugout, keeping Pete Rose out of the Hall, a running start for pitchers, and moving the catcher back instead of the mound.

Hour 4 - The crew are joined by Keegan Bradley to talk about the TGL. Hill Notes are impatiently awaiting a Red Sox free agency signing and Wiggy comes at the All 22 experts.

They Said It is a quick back and forth on what was said yesterday in the sports world. Today we hear from Mike McDaniel, JJ Reddick, and Luo Merloni.

The third hour begins with tonight's Headlines featuring the Celtics' recent two losses, an update on a surging Bruins team, and wondering what plan the Red Sox have after another head-scratching trade. Then, more criticism on the lack of an offseason from the Red Sox so far before discussing Brian Walshe's guilty verdict in the New England Nightly News. And, reading the tea leaves into Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels' relationship and wondering why McDaniels has been lacking praise from the head coach.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Tuesday, December 16th, 2025.

Last night's loss was nothing compared to the one in Milwaukee, the Bruins finding a spark with guys returning from injury, and trying to figure out what the heck the Red Sox are doing this offseason in tonight's Headlines.

As the only team who has yet to sign a free agent, John Henry, Craig Breslow, and company are just making fans even more angrier than they are with the lack of activity.

Brian offers up some final thoughts on the Pats-Bills game, including the Pats offense versus man coverage and why the defense had so much trouble stopping Josh Allen and James Cook (0:45). Then, he chats with CLNS Media's Bobby Manning about a couple of tough recent losses from the C's, Jaylen Brown's All-NBA-caliber play, the Celtics' streaky 3-point shooting, and more (24:40). Brian ends with a couple of listener calls before he and Jamie talk about a disappointing Red Sox offseason so far (1:08:15). We want to hear from you!

There has been a lot of hype around Japanese superstar slugger Munetaka Murakami, as he was posted this offseason. With his posting nearing expiration, many are wondering which MLB team might make a move for the first baseman, or if there is a chance that he might not sign at all and stay in Japan for next season.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the fascinating posting of Murakami and why teams like the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, and Seattle Mariners, among a few others, could be a suitable fit for his services. They then get into the flurry of transactions that have gone on over the past few days, including Jorge Polanco going to Queens, the Philadelphia Phillies picking up Adolis García and an update to the Scott Boras Scoreboard.Later, Jake and Jordan take a look at a couple of rosters for the World Baseball Classic, including the superstar power on Team USA and why the Dominican Republic squad is loaded on offense.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): News and rumors have calmed since the Winter Meetings, but Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have their eyes on a report that shows the Red Sox interest in Willson Contreras. Does the current Cardinals' first baseman fit in the Boston and how likely is a deal to get done? Also, Contreras could be the better bat to include in the lineup over Kazuma Okamoto and Eugenio Suarez. And, a show-wide denial of trading Marcelo Mayer for Ketel Marte and if Michael King would fit on the 2026 roster.

The best Red Sox conversations of the week from The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and WEEI Afternoons. Why didn't they extend themselves for Pete Alonso? What's the plan offensively now? Can they still salvage this offseason? Is John Henry to blame?

Fresh off being at the Winter Meetings, Bradfo hops in studio with Mego and Lyons and gives his thought on the Red Sox striking out and how they'll pivot to improve the roster (which is still likely).

Sure the Red Sox aren't spending big bucks and the business model has changed, but instantly calling John Henry cheap and not caring feels like an instant cop out.

For the first time this season, Jaylen Brown was mentioned in the MVP conversation from the NBA and its about time he's been given that recognition even if Jayson Tatum creeps closer to a return.

Bradfo is hanging out with Mego and Lyons keeping the Red Sox conversation going. With a recent example in the Blue Jays, Rob explains the power that comes with making and/or winning a World Series that organizations are missing out on. Then, in the New England Nightly News, a bad norovirus outbreak in Medford sparks bad memories for Mego and ideas come pitching in after regulation has been approved for a cannabis café. And, final thoughts about the Red Sox and how ownership could see this strategy as crazy as it seems leading to championship contention.

Mego and Lyons continue by talking about Jaylen Brown's rise to MVP consideration despite last night's loss in Milwaukee. Could a potential return of Jayson Tatum derail this run? Then, Rob Bradford joins in studio days after returning from the Winter Meetings and calls out the Red Sox like everyone else for letting a guy like Pete Alonso slip from their laps. And, when the Sox missed on Max Fried they quickly went to Garrett Crochet. However, they can't do this with the power bat in losing Pete Alonso.

Hour 1 - Is Jayson Tatum trying to strong arm the Celtics into returning earlier? Can Maye lock up the MVP on Sunday and are Red Sox diehards going extinct?

Scheim and Curtis give their leads for the morning. Could Maye lock up the MVP this Sunday and are diehard Red Sox fans going extinct?

Sure the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman last offseason, but that came along very quickly. The last big fish the Sox wanted early on and made a push for was JD Martinez before the 2018 season and we haven't seen anything like it since.

There are 90 minutes tonight to keep raging over the Red Sox not signing free agents during the Winter Meetings. Confusion arises where if the reports say the Sox loved Kyle Schwarber, then why wasn't there an offer given to him?! Then, between that and the uncompetitive Pete Alonso offer, you have to go back to JD Martinez to find the last big name player the Sox targeted for a long time and eventually signed. Those days appear to be long gone now. And, some thoughts on how the Bills have changed since losing to the Patriots at home and how desperate they will be this Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

(00:00) Zolak & Bertrand start the hour by touching on how to fix the Red Sox offense with Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber going elsewhere.(12:31) The crew touches on who is to blame for the Red Sox spending… Craig Breslow or John Henry.(25:06) We dive into the biggest storylines for Week 15 with Read & React.(37:29) The guys are visited by Phil Perry a little earlier than usual.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike and Jesse are back and are joined by attorney Paul Lesko who dissects the Panini-Fanatics antitrust lawsuit, revealing a major conflict: Panini is risking its own court credibility by showing potential buyers documents that claim their unlicensed products can outperform licensed ones, directly contradicting their courtroom defense. He also touches on the related Wild Card lawsuit, where Panini is accused of threatening distributors who worked with Wild Card. Separately, the Nikola Jokic card market is poised for growth as the star is officially signing with Topps. Plus, the guys debate which NFL quarterbacks to buy now and flip before the Super Bowl. Mike argues for Matthew Stafford, who is quietly building an unbelievable Hall of Fame resume, ranking top-10 all-time in major passing stats and is currently a top MVP candidate alongside Drake Maye. The ultimate market wild card is 44-year-old Philip Rivers who is joining the Colts' practice squad and could end up starting for them this season. In the baseball world, it's free agency time and Mike vents about the Red Sox refusing to sign big free agents, like Pete Alonso, despite the team's need for a power bat. Are young Orioles stars like Adley Rutschman and Gunner Henderson sneaky good value buys right now? The episode concludes with a look at the enduring cultural power of Pokémon cards among modern athletes and the high sale prices of crossover collectibles. Plus, upcoming card releases the guys will be breaking over the next few days. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
