Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss what the Red Sox will do in light of Alex Bregman's quad injury, including top prospect Marcelo Mayer getting called up, whether Rafael Devers will get any time a third base, if Trevor Story will lose playing time to due to his struggles, and how the team could make room for Roman Anthony. They also get into some Pirates topics including Jared Jones getting UCL surgery, whether the team should trade Paul Skenes, and what other trade chips they could move at the deadline. Listener question topics include whether the Orioles should trade Felix Bautista, if Kyle Tucker would be a good fit for the Giants this offseason, how seriously to take the Cardinals, the chances of the Cubs trading Kevin Alcantara, and what has led to the Dodgers having 14 pitchers simultaneously on the injured list.

On this week's Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don talk about a couple call-ups including Marcelo Mayer for the Red Sox. Ronald Acuna Jr. returned and hit 2 HRs over the weekend, but where does he rank for us for the rest of the season? Please, blog, may I have some more?
After calling up Marcelo Mayer over the weekend, how long will it be until Roman Anthony joins the Major League roster? Should the team ask Rafael Devers to move back to third base?
Jones and Keefe recap a brutal weekend of Red Sox baseball. What does the team do after Alex Bregman's injury? Marcelo Mayer was called up over the weekend, how far behind is Roman Anthony?
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Things have taken a drastic turn for the worse as Gordo and Pat give their thoughts on more lackluster efforts from the Red Sox lineup. Is the season completely lost now that Alex Bregman will make the lack of scoring even more hard or could Roman Anthony save anything with a much-needed call-up? Then, Ceddanne Rafaela and Trevor Story have provided glaring holes in the lineup that make the future in Boston pretty dim. And, lost in all of the struggles was the promotion and debut of Marcelo Mayer who picked up his first major league hits.

News & NotesBoston Red Sox infielder Alex Bregman goes to the IL, and one of the most exciting prospects of the year is called up to replace him in Marcelo Mayer.Fantasy managers got to experience the much-anticipated return of Ronald Acuna Jr. from the injured list. Detroit Tigers utility man Matt Vierling came back from the IL too.Joining Mayer as call-ups this week were Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Shaw, who was recalled early in the week, and Washington Nationals outfielder Robert Hassell III. A handful of other prospects are hitting in the bigs this week as well.It seems like teams are more willing to option the veterans on their team that aren't meeting expectations this season. The Chicago White Sox demoted first baseman Andrew Vaughn and the Athletics sent down outfielder JJ Bleday. Is this a trend of MLB teams moving to younger bats quicker or is it just a couple of coincidentally under-producing vets? Hosts: Brett Ford | Scott ChuScott's Top 150 Hitters ListWhat are fantasy managers supposed to do with an underproducing star like Jackson Chourio? What about the other slumping stars? How long can your fantasy team hold onto those unproductive bats before cutting ties and starting fresh? Maybe there's a surprising bat still available on your waiver wire that managers are discounting due to lack of name brand. Is that you, Geraldo Perdomo?

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Even though Rafael Devers brought the energy up with his first walk off home run, that was quickly flattened with another series loss to the Braves. Gordo and Sammy react to what the issue in this series was and if fans should start changing their expectations for the rest of the season. Also, Brayan Bello struggled once again and raises concerns for the starting rotation depth behind Garrett Crochet. And, with Kristian Campbell putting in work at first base, is it inevitable that Marcelo Mayer will be that missing piece and if so, where should he play?

Roman Anthony or Marcelo Mayer? That's where the conversation begins in this week's episode, as Alex Speier and J.P. Ricciardi dive into what makes each Red Sox prospect stand out, how close they are to reaching the big leagues, and what areas they still need to develop. Ricciardi offers his MLB comparison for Anthony, breaks down Mayer's injury concerns, and discusses how both players could fit into the Red Sox roster. They also explore whether Boston may need to trade an outfielder to clear a path for Anthony. The episode continues with a look at Ricciardi's recent induction into the WooSox Hall of Fame and his reflections on passing down his passion for the game to his sons, including Dante, who now works as a scout for the Red Sox. That leads to a breakdown of left-hander Shane Drohan, scouted by Dante, and a discussion on whether his swing-and-miss success can carry over to the majors. They also examine how the ABS system might be impacting walk rates at the Triple-A level. Ricciardi shares what led him to move from the front office to the broadcast booth and how broadcasting WooSox games has become a valuable resource for scouts and executives alike. The episode wraps with a look at the Red Sox's progress compared to other rebuilding teams, the Blue Jays' evolving financial strategy, and whether Toronto can finally match its talent level with consistent winning.
