WEEI presents a collection of Boston Red Sox discussions reacting to this weekend's trade from The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and Rich and Ken with Ted Johnson! The guys break down Craig Breslow shipping Connelly Early to Washington for Curtis Mead, analyze whether the Sox overpaid for a right-handed bat, and get former exec J.P. Ricciardi's thoughts on the trade. That and more on Best Of Red Sox on WEEI!

What moves are still to come for the Boston Red Sox? Should Breslow be more risky right now as the trade deadline approaches us?

Jones and Keefe discuss the controversial move Craig Breslow made, trading Connelly Early to Washington Nationals for Curtis Mead. Keefe thinks this is a massive overpay and who have liked to package Early in a bigger deal for better player than Mead. Was this the best option for Breslow?

The guys discuss if the recent trade for Curtis Mead is a win for the Red Sox and wonder if Breslow is considering larger deals before the deadline. There are still many positions that need upgrades, will they acquire another starting pitcher?

HR 4- Justin Turpin joins the show to discuss Christian Gonzalez, The Red Sox trade and more! Jeff Passan thinks Breslow is not done adding to their roster. Are Duran and Mayer on the chopping block? The guys picked through the Grab Bag and ended the show with the Clip Du Jour.

Christian Gonzalez still has not signed his contract that is apparently the largest in NFL History for a cornerback, and the guys are wondering if there is more to this situation that is not public. Devon Witherspoon is also waiting to sign a new contract, is this affecting Gonzo and his decision? Curtis Mead is now on the Red Sox roster, Breslow was looking for a new right handed bat and decided on Mead. What will he add to the Red Sox?

Hour 2 - The crew react to Breslow's press conference from today. Was this a win for him or did he overpay for Mead? How does Mead fit in with the Red Sox roster and more!

Breslow isn't targeting a specific position with trade deadline

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Ben’s ongoing jury service and meet major leaguers Zac Thornton and Tyron Guerrero, who used to be—but also never really were?—named Zach Thornton and Tayron Guerrero, respectively. Then (35:29) they attempt to diagnose Cal Raleigh’s offensive ills, check in on Patrick Bailey’s bat, examine how the Red Sox and Phillies wound up where they were supposed to be by a very roundabout route, assess the state of trade-deadline speculation, and consider where they would want a few top trade candidates to go.

The crew listen back to the best Hill Notes of the day. Excitement is high now that the Sox are on the precipice of making history. One Hill-Noter wants Curtis to apologize to Breslow.

With the vibe so high surrounding the Red Sox the crew debate if Breslow is actually really good at his job. Was firing Cora the best thing he's done?

The Red Sox second half resumes tomorrow with a double header against the Tampa Bay Rays. 6-4 during the homestand would put them at .500 on the year and potentially in a wild card spot. By the end of the homestand Breslow will most likely have to make a decision whether he is buying or selling.

The guys create their ideal second half Red Sox lineup with a couple of disagreements at certain positions. They also discuss Breslow and his style of work, along with the trade Alex Cora blocked and how this has affected the 2026 Red Sox.

Willson Contreras is under contract with the Red Sox until next year and is unsure about what his plans for next off season may entail. With the current status of the team and Breslow planning on buying at the deadline, Contreras is a player they need to keep. Should fans be worried about how he will preform after the All-Star break?

(00:00) The guys talk about how Nick's house almost burned down about 10 years ago, how big the fire actually was, then Nick takes a fire safety quiz, talks about a purchase he made in case of a fire, and they talk about Nick's escape window at his house.(00:18:09.18) First, Blind Scott calls in to help out Nick in his fire situation, then Red Sox beat reporter Chris Cotillo joins Toucher and Hardy to talk about the Red Sox, how hot are the Red Sox right now, Craig Breslow, the Trader Deadline and who and if the Red Sox should trade, do the series after the break determine if the Red Sox are sellers, pitchers getting hurt, and Breslow's past deadlines. (00:30:16.47) The guys talk about how Ryan talks about birthdays and milestones during the headlines and Hardy asks about question about something similar, how would you spend $30 million to win $300 million, Please note: Timecodes may shift by a few minutes due to inserted ads.

Episode 635: Nine straight wins. 14 out of 16 heading into the All-Star Break. Your Boston Red Sox are certifiably on fire.   The pre-All-Star Break trend continues for this year's Red Sox, and against all odds, the team finds itself just a half-game back of a playoff spot. Jared and Steve link up in Philadelphia while Coley and Tyler hold down the fort in New England, and hijinks ensue immediately.   After Jared gets a burp out of the way, the guys gush over the three-game sweep of the New York Mets. They praise Brayan Bello's impressive relief appearance after he seemed to have been written off, along with Jared's new favorite player on the Boston Red Sox.
