From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): A name we thought was in the past resurfaced and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are wondering why that is. How believable is it that the Red Sox could still acquire Isaac Paredes from the Astros? Also, Jarren Duran remains the most likely name in a trade, but at this time in Spring Training the value might not be equal. And, a deal would make things awkward with Caleb Durbin already dealt for and Marcelo Mayer likely to be demoted if it happens.

Jones and Keefe continued to discuss the US Men's Hockey 2-1 Gold Medal win over Team Canada in overtime. Finally, the guys talked about the status of Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer.
Alex Cora seemed to shock many when he said earlier today that Marcelo Mayer is going to have to earn his spot on the Opening Day roster in Cincinnati.
On top of the dominant performance against the Warriors by the Celtics, it was Al Horford who made the most noise by saying him leaving Boston was about more than basketball. What could Big Al be referring to? Then, Jaylen Brown added a triple-double to his season resume making it harder to ignore how legit of an MVP candidate he's becoming., And, Marcelo Mayer's spot on the Opening Day roster is no longer guaranteed according to Alex Cora.
“The day where the Red Sox spend like the Dodgers or Phillies is not coming," says WEEI's Christian Arcand. Where do you think they'll finish in what may shape up to be a highly-competitive AL East?
Red Sox fans eye a new era as Boston's pitching firepower headlines 2026. With Garrett Crochet, Ranger Suárez, and Sonny Gray anchoring a rotation poised to dominate, are the Red Sox ready for a postseason surge—or will offensive uncertainty hold them back?Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian examines critical lineup questions, from Marcelo Mayer and Caleb Durbin's roles in a youthful infield to Trevor Story's comeback potential. The dynamic outfield trio—Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Roman Anthony—emerge as defensive juggernauts, while the bullpen's prowess, led by Aroldis Chapman, remains a key asset. Debates swirl around first base and DH duties for Triston Casas and Willson Contreras, and whether Masataka Yoshida can deliver consistent impact. Can Boston's blend of rising stars and veteran arms turn defensive strength into championship contention?

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 8, 2026 @ 1 pm ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Reds sign Eugenio Suarez for a one-year, $15 million contract. He mostly played third base last season, but with future HOFer Ke'Bryan Hayes there, I guess he'll be the full-time DH.a.Thoughts?b.In looking at their lineup, Spencer Steer or Sal Stewart is going to lose playing time. Steer is 28 and is one year removed from a 20-20 season, but with serious concerns about how much he'll hit, and Sal Stewart is a rookie, although he looked great in his debut last season. How does this shake out?2.The Red Sox sign Isiah Kiner-Falefa to a one-year, $6 million contract. Is this just depth or is this a message that Marcelo Mayer needs to hit?a.What happened to Kristian Campbell?3.The Padres sign Miguel Andujar for $1.5 million, and in looking at their roster. Is he going to get enough at-bats at DH to make him a sneaky late-round grab? He's an afterthought in drafts at an ADP of 601.4.The Yankees re-sign Paul Goldschmidt, and in reading details of the signing, the Yankees were not the only suitor. He's far from the player he was, but should I be worried that he could steal at-bats away from Ben Rice?a.If so, do you discount Rice at the draft table?5.Finally, the Tigers had an eventful and expensive week. First they lost their arbitration hearing with Skubal, which cost of them $32 million and they signed Framber Valdez to a big three-year deal.a.I guess if there were worries about them moving Skubal, that appears to be unlikely. Thoughts on Tigers this season?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the AL WestThe Athletics1.Denzel Clarke looks like he will get the first shot at center field. Do you like Clarke or Colby Thomas to get the bulk of the at-bats?a.Does it even matter?2.Outside of Nick Kurtz, which two Athletics are you most interested in rostering?3.We now have data on the first year at Sutter Park in Sacremento and it ranked as the second best ballpark to hit in after Coors Field.a.Luis Severino had a 3.02 ERA away from Sutter and a whopping 6.01 ERA at home. I grabbed him in the 31st round of my NFBC Draft Champions League and was going to do the Home/Away game. Dumb idea?b.The ballpark factor does not bode well for young rookies like Luis Morales and Gage Jump. Thoughts?4.Who gets the saves for A's?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Houston Astros1.After a great spring training, Cam Smith wasn't very good. In 134 games, he hit nine home runs and stole eight bases while hitting .236. In Spring Training, he hit .342 with four home runs and 15 games. a.Is this a reminder to ignore spring training stats?b.Also, do you see 2026 as a growth year for Smith? If so, could he become a 15+ home run guy with 10+ stolen bases?2.Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 400 at-bats?3.Stat line for Tatsuya Imai – IP, K's, ERA and wins – 165, 180K, 3.50 ERA, 10 wins4.Christian Javier was a horse, and then 2024 came, and he had TJS. He struggled in his returns, but the fastball was back and the change-up was as good as ever. He doesn't throw particularly hard, but his xERA was 3.36 last season.a.Any interest?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Los Angeles Angels1.Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 15 home runs?a.Everyone thought he would hit, and while he makes great contact, his low hard-hit rate drives his BABIP down, and he hit .264 with a .263 xBA. How can you start this guy at first base?2.After Zach Neto and Jo Adel, give me two players you are interested in drafting from the Angels and why.3.Reid Detmers' stat line for 2026 – IP, Ks, ERAa.Detmers or Alek Manoah – who would you rather roster?4.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Seattle Mariners1.Cal Raleigh will hit closer to 40 home runs or 60 home runs in 2026.2.Dominic Canzone or Victor Robles – Who would you rather roster and why?3.Which one of Colt Emerson or Kade Anderson do we see in 2026? Or, do we see both?a.I know you're not a big Emerson fan, but I think he's going to be very good when he gets up – hint, I think we see him in the first half4.I can't think of a good pitching question – but, WOW, what a staff?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Texas Rangers1.Wyatt Langford – 2026 stat line – HR, SB, Runs, RBIs, and BA2.It's hard to say that Evan Carter is a bust, but so far, he's been a disappointment. He's still going as a number five outfielder – pick #71. Are you going to be one of those managers?3.I don't believe we talked about Josh Jung much last season or even when we did your third base rankings. He actually was somewhat healthy last season – 131 games, but hit 14 home runs and a SLG of .390. What happened?a.Is he of interest to you in upcoming drafts?4.Are you ready to trust Jack Leiter?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)
Pitchers and catchers from the Detroit Tigers report to spring training in eight days, but before the focus shifts to the 2026 season, former general manager Al Avila (responsible for 25 players on the current 40-man roster) joins "Days of Roar" for more than an hour to discuss the Tigers' rebuild, along with other takeaways from his more than 20 years with the Tigers, including the final seven seasons in charge of baseball operations. Topics with Avila include Mike Ilitch vs. Chris Ilitch, the J.D. Martinez and Justin Verlander trades in 2017, who would've been the manager if A.J. Hinch had joined the Chicago White Sox, Carlos Correa and Javier Báez during the 2021-22 offseason and getting fired (then being asked to stay) in August 2022. He also took deep dives into draft pick decisions such as Jackson Jobe over Marcelo Mayer, Jace Jung over Zach Neto and Riley Greene over CJ Abrams, plus the scouting process for No. 1 overall picks Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene. Aside from the Avila interview, Evan Petzold and Chris Brown discuss Tarik Skubal's upcoming arbitration hearing, the ongoing pursuit of mid-tier starters — and if there's any chance Framber Valdez falls into the Tigers' lap.

Fantasy Baseball Live – January 11, 2026 – 3:00pmMicrosoft TeamsPodcastSunday, January 11, 20263:00 PM - 4:30 PMhttps://teams.live.com/meet/9360960458392?p=wO31KjtHU9wOTPVZVJSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Cubs trade for Edward Cabrera, sending OF Owen Caissie, SS/2B Christian Hernandez, and 2B/3B Edgardo De Leona.I wrote a long note to our Patreon members after the trade was finalized, so I won't reiterate my views. But, what is your take?i.Does Eddie Cabrera go up or down in your rankings or stay the same?ii.I'm assuming Caissie goes up, as he should get a chance to play. What's your take?2.The Cubs also make news, signing Alex Bregman to a long 5-year deal. This one has a lot of ramifications, as it was reported that the Red Sox really wanted to re-sign him.a.What happens to Matt Shaw? It's been widely reported, and I've heard from my contact that the Cubs are not happy with Shaw. I've heard he's difficult to work with, and the Cubs were not happy when he took a day off in September to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial. b.Who plays third for the Red Sox? Do they double down on signing Bo Bichette or go with some combination of Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell3.The Rockies acquire Jake McCarthy on Saturday for RHP Josh Grosza.I know it's the Rockies, but does McCarthy get a jump in value? RosterResource lists him as the starting right fielder.b.It's a bit of a bummer for Dynasty League owners waiting for Zac Veen and Sterlin Thompason to get a shot. It could even gum up the works for Cole Carrigg. Your thoughts?c.I saw Josh Grosz pitch with the Yankees last season in High-A. Fastball sat 93 to 94 MPH and was pretty flat with average secondaries. He does get a new lease with the Diamondbacks, but he's not someone I'd be running out to grab in Dynasty Leagues.4.My draft has slowed to a crawl. I'll share some of my mid-round picks.Segment 2 – Shortstop Rankings for the 2026 Season1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?2.We will break down the top 15 to 20 in detail. Then, go through 20 to 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.3.Which player not in the Top 10 has a chance to emerge there next season?4.Which Top 10 player will not be there next season?5.Give me a couple of sleepers6.Give me one, maybe two guys you are just going to avoid drafting?
Roman Anthony joins the show and praises the Boston culture and how passionate they are about their sports. Marcelo Mayer also joins and shares the physical improvement he has made during the offseason so far before spring training. And who has made to most improvements physically during the offseason?
Between trading for Sonny Gray who they could see as the number two starter, floating Marcelo Mayer in a trade for Ketel Marte, and letting Alex Bregman talk with Arizona, there really isn't anything the Red Sox have done during this offseason that makes much sense.
