Hour 2 - The MLB Winter meetings are underway, and Red Sox fans are hopeful their team will make a splash. Craig Breslow was asked about how the first day of meetings, and the slow search for a bat.
Craig Breslow talks adding bats during offseason // Mark Schlereth hates the Chiefs! // Red Sox trade Vaughn Grissom to Angels //
For this power hour we get into Craig Breslow making another deal for a pitcher which adds to a long list of moves to give the Red Sox more arms. Why is Breslow's resume toward adding pitching to the Sox a reason for fans to be nervous about the remaining offseason? Then, the stars won't be out for Celtics-Lakers, but Jaylen Brown is the star that will play and deserves to complete this season as the C's number one option. And, nothing is as American as football, but the President might want to change that.
Jones and Keefe continued to discuss the Red Sox acquisition of right-handed pitcher Johan Oviedo from Pirates in a 5-player deal. The guys also talked about their expectation for Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs going forward. Finally, it's the Week in Review.

Included in tonight's Headlines are some rumors that Craig Breslow would be open to add some more to the Red Sox rotation. Would Sonny Gray not have to be the number two starter and could Giannis force himself out of Milwaukee? Then, another local scam this time involving as Bitcoin ATM and skiers in Stow get lost apparently due to TikTok in the New England Nightly News. And, Robert Griffin III was making a great case for BYU to make the college football playoff...until he ended his statement.
(0:00) Felger, Mazz and Murray lead off the second hour discussing the Red Sox trading for Sonny Gray and why they still believe the Red Sox won't spend this offseason.

We are still high on Sonny Gray coming to Boston. A major move that really balances out the Red Sox rotation. After seeing what Dylan Cease got in free agency, Craig Breslow did the right thing. You do not need a J.T. Realmuto. There are other screaming areas of need before you throw $20 million at a catcher position. Imagine throwing $20 million at Bregman? Or at the Foxy Lady's annual Legs and Eggs? We wrap things up with the most polarizing conversation of the Red Sox offseason - which outfielder to trade. Jack is of the camp that you trade Duran and keep Abreu, Ian thinks the opposite. We voice our opinions. Tonight's game is in honor of Stranger Things. We're here to tell you who is from the Upside Down. Linktree NASP Instagram NASP Twitter Ian's Twitter Jack's Twitter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ian Cundall and... (checks notes)... Chris Hatfield (?!) got on the pod on Thanksgiving eve to answer the emergency podcast horn following the Sonny Gray trade. The guys discussed how Gray fits into the team's offseason plans (is he the fabled "#2 starter" Craig Breslow spoke of?), whether the Red Sox gave up too much (they didn't), and how this deal sets up (or doesn't) the rest of the offseason. Plus, we're thankful for you all, so we hit some Thanksgiving emails! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Got something to say? We love talking about what you want to hear about.

Right before the Thanksgiving holiday, Red Sox fans aren't thankful for Craig Breslow acquiring Sonny Gray apparently. Why are fears of returning to a time of not spending still lingering with Sox fans? Then, Breslow said one thing during his press conference last night that was a big red flag in a time of a lot of green flags. And, the "Cousin Walk" is a classic Thanksgiving tradition that is being ruined by social media.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Its now officially hot stove season and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all over some oddly directive comments made by Craig Breslow at the GM meetings. Do we buy Breslow making his wants of a number two starter and power bat happen? Then, the two big bats the Red Sox are likely linked to are Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso and the contracts could be very different for the amount of want fans may have. And, Joe Ryan feels like a certain Sox target, but don't overlook Freddy Peralta if they strike out with Minnesota.

Despite being emotional about returning to Boston, Christian makes the argument that Brad Marchand seems fine with going to the rival Panthers over returning to Boston. Also, Jeremy Swayman didn't have as rough of a night as the now troubling defensive pairings. Then, running back and pass rusher still seem to be the big Patriots trade targets, but who is out there that is reasonable? And, its been a week and Jason Varitek still has been announced to return. Craig Breslow must not be thrilled with Tek's radio appearance a week ago.

Christian has some suspicions that Jason Varitek openly gave himself a pitch to Craig Breslow to keep him on the Red Sox coaching staff versus taking a managerial position elsewhere.
Craig Breslow and Sam Kennedy stated a desire to keep adding on aggressively, but the numbers right now still label the Red Sox as a cheap franchise.

Then, the iconic Massachusetts restaurant Kowloon is going under some big changes as discussed in the New England Nightly News. And, the Bills fan who ran off with the football during the Pats-Bills game gave everyone an update.
Craig Breslow seemingly said the right things at their end of season press conference yesterday. What are the actual expectations for the Sox this offseason and where should they spend their big money? Then, two men were arrested in a scene in Tremont Street that Christian downplays a little bit in the New England Nightly News. And, it is a very odd circumstance Mark Sanchez has found himself in over the weekend.
Christian reacts to Craig Breslow's comments from Monday's end of season press conference and was fairly happy with what Breslow said. Specifically on Bregman, his numbers don't support the money he and Scott Boras might want, but the push to resign him should still be there.
