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.

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.

Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow joined the show and discussed the moves the Red Sox will be making this offseason to make sure the team builds on the success of this season.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow could very well secure a World Series ring without throwing a pitch, thanks to his role in building the roster as the team's top decision-maker. 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.
