What can the Red Sox improve to go on a run this season? Bullpen? Starting pitching? The Sox need to ensure that this run lasts longer than just a series or two. Giolito discussion. Will he continue his hot stretch? You shouldn't extend him, but you have to ride the hot hand. Breslow discussed the outfield surplus. You cannot trade your surplus of outfielders just because, but they also have to play. Jones started to notice that the front office is giving the same answer over and over, are they staying “aligned?”

Craig Breslow gave his thoughts on the recent struggles from the Red Sox and kept pointing the finger at how things are run within the organization. Is this a sign of the total disconnect or is Breslow feeling the heat?

Here is how the show looked today HR 1 - What are reasonable expectations for the Celtics? | Breslow defends Devers trade on GHS HR 2 - Sox Spotty lineup | Madfo returns | Weird baseball injuries HR 3 - Jones is content with Celtics doing nothing for rest of offseason HR 4 - Duran's down year | Grab Bag | Reverse Nesmith

Good grief. The Red Sox chief baseball officer is at it again, this time defending his trade of Devers. Will he have a job next week?

The Red Sox lineup leaves much to be desired right now. No one is going. Very spotty at best. Why is Duran struggling so much? Cora is back on the hot seat. What is he supposed to do without Devers? He is in hot water right now though with Henry because of the Devers situation. This whole thing is tough to read. He couldn't solve the problems in the clubhouse. Keefe thinks that Breslow will stay but Cora will go in the offseason. None of the prospects are producing at the big league level. They are definitely second guessing everything. Going through the strikeout numbers. The veterans are letting the team down.

During the first hour of Jones and Keefe the guys discuss the Celtics and their draft pick in the first round. Who did they miss out on? Did they reach? Next, where will the Celtics finish in the East? Finally, the guys go over the Front Office Report with Craig Breslow from earlier on the Greg Hill Show. How did Bres embarrass himself today?

Going through the strikeout numbers. The veterans are letting the team down. Bradfo is MADFO today. Nothing is clicking for the Red Sox right now, including messaging. This timing is horrendous. There is nothing to defend. There is no offense on this team. You are now reliant on the young players who have had nothing in their careers to be the backbone of this team. They are putting too much pressure on Roman Anthony right now. There are no other options to go to. There is no answer as to why Duran is not good right now. It is time to ride this out. There is a chance that this season is salvaged. Bregman situation discussion. What happened to Kutter Crawford? Michael Kopech discussion. Keefe is the WAG expert. Kutter Crawford suffered a wrist injury off the field. What was it? Weird sports injuries discussion. If Crawford does not answer how It happened, we have to assume it was a Sloppy Thurston.

Breslow looks at the minor leagues as a place to improve the Red Sox. He has studied it and he just told us that the Sox stink at player development.

HR 1 - Hugo was the right pick | Seems like Breslow is not ready to give up on 2025 HR 2 - Sox Silver linings | Kraft is disappointed in the Patriots HR 3 - Torre uncovers truth behind NFL collusion? | More likely to | Brady's bad mouth HR 4 - Andy knows NOTHING about movies

Celtics first round discussion. Why was Hugo the right pick? Red Sox were not great last night. Cora was not happy with his team after the game. Are the Red Sox ready to add to this baseball team? Seems like Breslow is not ready to give up on 2025. Breslow looks at the minor leagues as a place to improve the Red Sox.

Assessing the rookies so far into the season. Why are they struggling so much? Roman Anthony's average better start rising soon! Jones has been defending the Breslow track record. He is no Chaim Bloom... maybe. Is he a great GM? No. John Henry keeps getting in the way. Bad move or good move with Craig Breslow's tenure in Boston. Brutally honest review.

He is no Chaim Bloom... maybe. Is he a great GM? No. John Henry keeps getting in the way. Bad move or good move with Craig Breslow's tenure in Boston. Brutally honest review. Is he a bumbling buffoon? As much as Jones has supported Breslow's moves, he has a tougher time supporting his front office hiring strategies. The AI interviews are extreme. How many AI bots are there? He tried to defend himself, but he fell on his face again. Does Breslow count as one of the AI bots? Is this a Henry issue too? A lot to think about here. Trade rumors shut down by Henry. Luis Castillo to Boston fell flat because of taxes? Would've been Casas and Yoshida for him.

Lakers sold for 10 billion dollars. Winning Time Show discussion. It made the late Jerry West look terrible. Hard to say no to the 10 billion dollar sale. Four billion more than the Celtics sold for. Irv is pounding the table. The billionaire owners are not staying on board like they say. The new Lakers owner owns a lot of teams. Are more teams going to stay in the second apron for two years? Hoss of the week discussion. Is an NBA team a smart investment? Will FSG sell the Red Sox? Is Devers HR a good pick for bet of the week? Bradfo joins the show! There is a lot to pick through here. What is going on with the Breslow interview tactics? People are just looking to make the Red Sox look bad right now. He claims that the AI interview thing was only for low level job listings. Everyone should be mad about the Devers trade right now. Their priority was to find a team who would take the whole Devers contract. The reaction from the team was so nothing compared to how massive the trade seemed. The culture was not good. The return could have been better, obviously. The Red Sox are to blame for this. Bradfo explains his thoughts on the Joon Lee story. He calls the AI story dumb.

Cora and his decision making. Jones has been liking the pitching management. Is Cora upset about the Devers trade? We do not think so.

The Red Sox are in a tough spot. Cora specifically, is also in a bad spot. He used to be the front man, meant to take the blame, but he has been managing pretty well as of late. There have been a lot of changes, and he has held the clubhouse together. Pedro vs Big Papi fight over Devers Pedro said there was no way Devers was a bad teammate, whereas Big Papi says the opposite. Fitzy changes the subject to large MLB contracts and says they are ruining the league. Lock out coming soon. Pedro thinks the Sox did not handle the situation well. Front office people should not be involved in this, and neither should the media. Ortiz was not as nice. Breslow has no PR skills. Fitzy addresses his face scrapes. There are too many variables in the Red Sox front office.

Here is how the show looked today HR 1 - Breslow's PR skills need work | Pedro v Big Papi on Devers trade HR 2 - Campbell being sent down was first of many tough Sox roster calls HR 3 - How can Celtics stay out of second apron tax? | Six Reasons Pats will be Better HR 4 - Time to panic about Anthony? | Quiz with Stiz

What went on in the Kennedy-Breslow press conference on Zoom? It was the wild wild west out there. Boston's hottest club is the Sam Kennedy press conference on Zoom. It has angry old beat writers, IP addresses, unmuted conversation and images of JetBlue Park. Don't forget the useless questions! Are Breslow and Kennedy on the same page? No one knows. Is Kennedy the Guy Fieri of baseball? A lot of new fresh flavors! It is important that the Giants were able to eat the entire contract. Was that the main reason for the trade? Why did Breslow say that the contract was not a factor... lies. Why did the Red Sox return suck? It would have been better if the Sox ate some of the contract. Breslow got called a stiff. Inside the Joon Lee article which was mostly pro Devers. Was this a Red Sox hit piece? Jones bets all the stories about Devers are true.
