But few know the story of when Breslow earned a WS ring as a player despite not throwing a single pitch or appearing in a game. It's the story you probably didn't know, but needed to.

Friday Four Pack! Here are the questions SHOULD CRAIG BRESLOW BE FIRED IF THE RED SOX MISS THE PLAYOFFS? WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TERRY MCLAURIN OR MICAH PARSONS? WHAT IS THE BEST CONCERT YOU'VE EVER GONE TO? WHAT IS THE BEST SUMMER SONG?
Revisiting the Devers trade after the deadline makes Breslow look even worse. Kelly and Suarez could have been ours. Prospect hugging is terrible. The perfect GM is Theo. Would you rather hire the Dombrowski model or the Breslow model? Wormy Cora snuck away from the deadline. An EPIC Grab Bag sounder. Breslow is hard to deal with. Ivy League dweebs even hate him. Clip Du Jour
People should be disgusted at the Red Sox trade deadline. The real shame is that fans were ready to believe in this team. Cora is pouting. This is bad. The Sox are about to go into the tank. F –. Matz and May will not help this team win a World Series. Henry is not at fault for the bad deadline. Breslow showed some emotion in his presser. Steve in Fall River trips over himself. Week in review – Fitzy fooled by false reporting
Will Tampa finish above the Red Sox? Discussing the Devers return. That trade will age poorly for the Giants. The Red Sox traded three prospects in the top 30 prospects moved, but got NOTHING back. This should piss everyone off. Ken Rosenthal calls Sox deadline an epic fail. He roasted Breslow. Friday Four Pack: 1. SHOULD CRAIG BRESLOW BE FIRED IF THE RED SOX MISS THE PLAYOFFS? 2. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TERRY MCLAURIN OR MICAH PARSONS? 3. WHAT IS THE BEST CONCERT YOU'VE EVER GONE TO? 4. WHAT IS THE BEST SUMMER SONG? Patriots coaching staff ranked lower than we think.
Breslow did not do his job at the trade deadline. Period. The team did its job by winning a bunch of games. All of the other AL playoff borderline teams got way better, but the Sox did almost nothing. This team had extra bucks to spend and a great farm system. Huge mistake. Jones really thought he would add. If Henry does not spend BIG on free agency, it is all on him and fans should be pissed. Yesterday was on BRESLOW, not Henry. Breslow got boo'd by the fans at the Greg Hill Show this morning. No one is more let down than Jones. Deadline DISASTER. All of the prospects should have been on the table for Joe Ryan. Keefe thinks the Sox are toast. We were in on the Sox big time! Now that the team didn't upgrade, we can root against them. The Red Sox improved the LEAST out of any AL team. Breslow got in his feels during the press conference last night. Caller takes credit for starting the booing. Breslow has achieved the worst of both worlds. Gave away Blaze Jordan and James Tibbs III. Top five things to do during October because the Sox won't be playing.

How is he feeling about the trade deadline? He is very upset with the Red Sox and thinks the team could have added more, but they did everything they could to make big moves. Joe Ryan is the guy they want. The Twins made the Red Sox uncomfortable. The national reporters got everything wrong. The trade deadline is its own animal. He does not think people should be so hard on Breslow. All the players are fine.
The Drive: Alex Bregman has to be the defined leader of the clubhouse. What else can he do? Asked Ted. Bregman has never missed the playoffs in his career, he has to lead the attitude in the clubhouse. Him and Cora have to work together as a unit. The Rangers spent and got Merrill Kelly. Resetting on Parsons. Maybe the Patriots will fulfil Andy's dreams Cooper Criswell is starting for the Red Sox. What is he all about? Gotta feel bad for him right now. Long reliever type guy. Crochet load management talk. Ted took the fastest victory lap of all time last night when we thought Joe Ryan was ours. Will Flemming joins the show How is he feeling about the trade deadline?

Hart says the Sox will be out of the playoffs by Monday. Who are the Coopers we would rather see at Fenway Park? He is very emotional. His son is going to college. This is where you go when you are sad, but the fake world at Fenway STINKS right now. Hart took the cheese on the Sox. Breslow and Kennedy lied to him. He took them at their word. Remember the Henry cigar? Were the Sox ever actually in on Ryan? Why is Breslow not the kind of personality to get a good deal done?

What starters are the best on the market right now? Who checks all the boxes? AJ Preller is the trade deadline MAN. Breslow? Not so much. Will the Sox make the playoffs with no additions?
Oh man, San Diego just traded for Mason Miller. They gave up the number three prospect in baseball. The trade deadline is at peak heat. How will the Sox respond? Taking a victory lap on the Giants. Third impact reliever that has moved. Will Cease be moved? Sources are saying yes. What can the Sox do with their current roster to compete? Bradfo joins the show to discuss the MLB trade deadline.

He is a target for a guest spot on our show Patriots Monday and Friday. How real is this story? We are suspicious. Would an alien ever wear a wig? Will reverse psychology work for Pats Monday guests? We could talk to Hollins about foot stuff and alien stuff! Dream guest.
Here is how the show looked today HR 1 - The Trade Deadline is Heating up! HR 2 - Breslow must make a big move to improve Sox chances at World Series HR 3 - Maye's solid camp | Revisiting Cora's off-day to shed blame | Canadians love raccoons HR 4 - We are not prospect huggers
We look forward to the MLB trade deadline every year. Top 30 sports day of the year. Jones is nervous about the way he will feel about Breslow after today. Will the Red Sox make a move? The Red Sox were in on Suarez… Great! The Dumper is protected now. Thoughts on the Steven Matz trade? Bulk reliever. Depth guy. Who constitutes a big bullpen swing? Matz is not a big move. He will not move the needle.
