The San Francisco Giants signed Luis Arráez to a one-year deal, with the hope that the three-time batting champion will be able to help solidify their offense after their blockbuster deal that brought Rafael Devers to the Bay last season. However, after finishing at 81–81, are the Giants doing enough to try and compete for a title?On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman examine the questionable offseason that President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey has navigated for his Giants. While being in the same division as the Los Angeles Dodgers does present some difficulties, should the Giants be doing a bit more to show their commitment to winning? Could they still find a way to improve their rotation before the start of the season?Later, Jordan and Jake talk about the trade that saw the St. Louis Cardinals trade Brendan Donovan in a three-team deal to the Seattle Mariners and why he is going to be a key player for them. They then discuss the Chicago White Sox's active weekend, the Sacramento A's signing Jacob Wilson to an extension, all before they get into the problem that insurance is causing with World Baseball Classic rosters.2:29 – The Opener: A look at the Giants29:58 – Around the League: Mariners trade for Donovan48:18 – Turbo Mode: Reds sign Eugenio Suárez58:37 – Tarik Skubal vs. Detroit Tigers1:01:44 – We Need to Talk About: WBC insurance Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Boston Red Sox face a crossroads after losing Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers—can their young core and new signings spark a deeper playoff run? Roman Anthony emerges as a potential franchise cornerstone as the Sox weigh high expectations for his sophomore season, while recent additions like Willson Contreras and promising pitcher Kyle Harrison aim to balance the lineup and strengthen the rotation.Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian examines the front office's offseason strategy, the impact of Masataka Yoshida's potential breakout, and the need for another big bat to compete with AL East rivals like the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Orioles. Trade rumors swirl around targets such as Nico Hoerner and Isaac Paredes, fueling debate on whether Boston's mix of youth and experience is ready to take the next step. Will ownership commit the resources needed to push the Red Sox past perennial contenders?
When the Chicago Cubs acquired Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins, many were left wondering if there would be another big move left in their arsenal. That question was answered over the weekend when they agreed to a deal to bring three-time All-Star Alex Bregman to the Windy City.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Cubs' five-year, $175 million deal with the former Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox star to help solidify their lineup and continue their stellar offseason. Could this be the move that helps get Chicago back to the top of the NL Central for the first time since 2020?Later, Jordan and Jake examine how badly it appears the Red Sox messed up in their negotiations with Alex Bregman, considering they traded away Rafael Devers during the season and are now left with neither All-Star on their squad. Then the guys get into how real of a possibility it is that Bo Bichette joins the Philadelphia Phillies, as well as a new addition to Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster.1:29 – The Opener: Bregman to Cubs26:19 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update34:41 – The Red Sox badly messed up49:21 – Red Sox front office response59:41 – Bo Bichette and the Phillies?1:09:04 – New addition to Team USA Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
Mike Vrabel joins and says his lip in fine after a headbutt from Milton Williams. Vrabel says there is a lot to improve on from last night's game. He explains how he gets players to buy-in, and says the team will prepare for either opponent. The Red Sox let Alex Bregman walk, where do they go from here after losing both Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman.
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Alex Bregman just sent the Red Sox and their fans into disarray by signing a massive deal with the Chicago Cubs. Gordo and Sammy talk about how shocking it is to see Bregman leave and how bad the organization looks for once again being outbid for their Plan A target.. Also, the offseason is now very close to being a disaster if they don't sign Bo Bichette which no one seems to have faith in happening. And, trading away Rafael Devers now becomes a total waste since his replacement only spent a year in Boston.

Jordan, Bayleigh, and Hunter are here to rant about the Red Sox losing out on Alex Bregman. The Chicago Cubs swung in with a big offer and we have to deal with the fallout. How does everyone feel about the offseason? Where do the Red Sox pivot to now? Is Craig Breslow any different than Chaim Bloom? We reopen the can of worms that is the Rafael Devers trade again. The trades have been positive this offseason, but they're confusing if they aren't spending now. We get angry for an hour.Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport.

The 2025 Major League Baseball season was one of the most memorable in recent history.

Yes Craig Breslow and Sam Kennedy wanted to improve the team and even indicated into the saved money from the Rafael Devers trade, but the Red Sox still being 11th in the MLB in active payroll shouldn't make anyone happy.
Are we confident the Red Sox will supplement their talent after Alex Cora, Craig Breslow, and Sam Kennedy's end-of-season press conference? What will happen with Alex Bregman? The team has to spend the money cleared by the Rafael Devers trade, but who should they target as they have a lot of holes to fill on their roster?
The Boston Red Sox are out of the playoffs after another painful October exit, and the New England Patriots just flipped the AFC conversation with a dramatic 23-20 Monday Night Football win in Buffalo. Rayshawn and Mike go all in on both stories, giving you the most detailed breakdown of where Boston sports stand and what comes next. We open with the Red Sox collapse against the New York Yankees, dissecting every mistake and missed opportunity. Game 2 was defined by defensive breakdowns and costly fielding errors that flipped momentum. Boston’s lineup struck out 12 times in the clincher, exposing a top-heavy order that couldn’t produce in clutch moments. Garrett Crochet gave the team a chance on the mound, but questionable bullpen decisions — including Connelly Early’s quick hook — raised eyebrows. We debate whether the Rafael Devers trade, made to reshape the lineup, ended up hurting the team in this short series, and what it says about Boston’s long-term strategy. Then we take on the Alex Cora question head-on. Is he still the right manager to lead this roster forward, or is a reset overdue? From there, we map out a full offseason blueprint. Boston needs more than tweaks — they need cornerstone moves. We spotlight free-agent and trade targets like Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Alonso, each of whom would immediately transform the lineup’s power and consistency. We also break down key internal decisions: how Jarren Duran’s speed and upside factor into their future plans, whether Wilyer Abreu should be part of the team’s core or trade bait, and how Trevor Story’s health and defense could stabilize the infield. We discuss why Roman Anthony’s development is crucial and why the bullpen must be rebuilt with reliable depth and a clear closer to anchor late-inning leads. The Red Sox can’t afford another “bridge year.” This offseason must be aggressive, decisive, and focused on competing in 2026. Then we shift to football, where Drake Maye’s breakout game has the Patriots fan base buzzing. In just his fifth career start, Maye went toe-to-toe with Josh Allen and came out on top, delivering clutch throws in high-pressure moments and showing major growth in pocket presence and decision-making. Stefon Diggs proved why he’s still a top-tier wide receiver, posting another 100-yard performance and opening up the offense for others. Hunter Henry continues to shine as a reliable red-zone weapon, while rookie running back Treyvion Henderson showed why he could become a cornerstone piece of the offense. We break down how offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has adjusted the scheme around Maye’s strengths and what that means for the rest of the season. Looking ahead, we discuss how New England must take advantage of Maye’s rookie contract window, why finding a legitimate WR2 is a top priority, and which players — like A.J. Brown or Chris Olave — could be ideal trade or free-agent targets. We also preview the Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, a classic trap game that could derail the team’s momentum if they’re not prepared. With a young franchise quarterback, an elite receiver, and a defense that can still compete, the Patriots are building something real — and this win in Buffalo could be the moment that turns their season around.

Its still fresh, but Arcand still feels disappointed for the Red Sox ending their season with such a whimper against the Yankees. However, in the big picture, the future looking bright means the Sox can be back in this spot next season. Also, the rest of the MLB playoffs and a surprise performance from Mac Jones in the 6:30 Headlines. And, Christian makes the argument that trading away Rafael Devers didn't factor into the team's success afterwards since their strength was their pitching.
Matt, Jordan and Isiah break down the final series of the 2025 Boston Red Sox, as they've been eliminated by their archrival New York Yankees in three games of the American League Wild Card Series. The trio doesn't spend a whole lot of time talking about the series, instead pivoting towards offseason dialogue. Just how obvious are the fixes? Would you trade Ceddanne Rafaela?Jordan also poses the question of, knowing what we know now, would Red Sox fans have been happier with Nick Pivetta returning in 2025 if it meant keeping Rafael Devers opposed to what potentially may be only one season of Alex Bregman in Boston.Finally, the group picks their World Series winners before closing out the final episode of the 2025 season.Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport.

Looking back on the season that was, Arcand argues that the run that the Red Sox went on had to do with the starting pitching and not ridding the clubhouse of Rafael Devers.
