Here we go Red Sox Nation... It's opening day at Fenway today!

He's been called a "manager's dream". Johnny Damon once said of him "Just to be his teammate is something I will always remember." ELLIS BURKS is a great story teller with so much wisdom to share, which he does with humor, charm and grace. You're going to want to hear the story of the year that he and the Red Sox broke the curse and how it effected him personally. Not to mention how EB handles the 6 pack! (Here's a hint- he aced it!) Red Sox Nation, Rockies fans, you gotta listen to this episode!

Hart, Fitzy and Johnson react to Red Sox manager Alex Cora's assertion on The Greg Hill Show that the team has "adults" in the locker room now, and they continue their discussion on the role Alex Bregman will play in the team's potential success in 2025 and beyond.

We dive straight into the hot topic of the Red Sox offseason: Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman at third base. With Bregman joining the team, Devers has made it clear he's not ready to give up his spot at the hot corner. The guys discuss whether both players could coexist at third, or if one will need to shift positions. Alex Cora weighs in on Devers' comments and what it means for the team as they prepare for 2025. Then, Bregman joins the show to talk about why he chose the Red Sox, his excitement for Fenway Park's playoff atmosphere, and how moves like Garrett Crochet, Aroldis Chapman, and Walker Buehler influenced his decision. He shares his thoughts on playing with young stars like Khristian Campbell, Marcelo Meyer, and Roman Anthony; his relationship with Cora, and his confidence in fitting well at Fenway. Tanner Houck also talks about the Red Sox's pitching depth in 2025, with returning arms like Bryan Bello and Kutter Crawford, and what Garrett Whitlock's return means for the team. Plus, we discuss Khristian Campbell's focus for Spring Training as he aims to improve heading into the season.

Gresh and Hart compared the buzz surrounding the Patriots and the Red Sox.

Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: what is more likely: The Red Sox making the playoffs or the Patriots winning 5+ games?Mego:  I am going to go with Patriots winning five games. There are two up in the air. Here are the winnable games. You could beat the Bears or the Chargers as well. Their schedule is out of their control. I am sorry Red Sox Nation ™. Arcand: I thought the Red Sox had to make a big move to make the playoffs, I do not think either will happen, but the more likely scenario is for the Sox to make the playoffs. I am rooting for this to happen, but I can see the Red Sox falling behind, but they do not quit. The Patriots are unknown to me. Jones: Both of these will happen, but more likely the Sox make the playoffs. It is sooner.

From Bangor to Back Bay, New Englanders endure in baseball matters. And life. The team's history has intersected with the history of Boston and well beyond it, through the Curse of the Bambino, the military service of Ted Williams during World War II, and the Boston Marathon bombing. The Fenway Effect chronicles these stories and others that have built the incredible saga of the Boston Red Sox.  How did Cheers depict the passion of Boston's sports fans? Why is Narragansett beer so important to New England?  What did the Boston press really think about Red Sox owner Harry Frazee selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees?  Even Yankees fans will tip their caps to the rich impact of the Red Sox on music, movies, branding, broadcasting, and more.

For 50 years, 1939-1989, Red Sox Nation had three successive Hall Of Famers, guarding the Green Monster of Fenway out in left-field. Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice. With the Splendid Splinter's story already in our collection, and Jim Rice on the horizon, this week we take a dive into the life and career, of the man New Englanders would affectionately call Yaz. The two things the Polish immigrant Yastrzemski family knows, is growing potatos and playing baseball. Under the omnipresent and watchful tutelage of his father and uncles, Yaz would rise from the farm to Cooperstown, with a dominant 23 year baseball career for the Red Sox, as one of the greatest all-around left-fielders who ever lived. #CarlYastrzemski #BostonRedSox #NotreDame #RayGarland #TedWilliams #LakeRonkonkoma #FrankNekola #TomYawkey #FenwayPark #RaleighCapitals #MinneapolisMillers #JakeRobinson #CharlieGunz #BackwardsKPod #NewEngland

Fredric Michael Lynn was born on February 3, 1952He arrived on the big league scene like a bolt of lightning through the evening sky. Fred Lynn played in his first game on September 5, 1974 and proceeded to smash major league pitching to the tune of a .419 batting average and a .698 slugging average over his first 15 games. He followed that up with one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time, leading the Red Sox to the World Series and earning the Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Gold Glove awards for the 1975 season. Lynn was the first player to achieve this trifecta, an accomplishment matched by Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners in 2001.Fred Lynn had the greatest coming out party in baseball history in 1975, when as a rookie, he played a stellar center field for the Red Sox and earned the American League Most Valuable Player Award. All season, opposing pitchers searched in vain for a way to get the left-handed hitter out, and all season they were left scratching their heads. Lynn hit .331 in his freshman campaign, and followed it with a .314 mark in 1976, but injuries kept him out of the lineup all too frequently for the remainder of his career. He was healthy in 1978 and 1979, and in the latter year, he had his best overall campaign, belting 39 homers to go with 122 RBI, 116 runs scored, 42 doubles, 82 walks, and a .333 average. But after he was traded by Boston to the Angels, he was never quite the same player. He did recapture his magic twice after leaving Red Sox Nation, however. In 1983 he hit the first grand slam in All-Star Game history, and in the 1982 League Championship Series, he punished Brewers' pitchers for a .611 batting average and 11 hits in the Angels' five-game defeat. Seemingly destined to become one of the game's greats, Lynn never met those lofty (and unfair) expectations, but he still produced 306 homers and more than 1,100 RBI in his injury-riddled career.After he collected 11 hits in five games and batted .611 in the 1982 Playoffs, Fred Lynn became the first player on a losing team to be named Most Valuable Player in a League Championship Series.

But after he was traded by Boston to the Angels, he was never quite the same player. He did recapture his magic twice after leaving Red Sox Nation, however. In 1983 he hit the first grand slam in All-Star Game history, and in the 1982 League Championship Series, he punished Brewers' pitchers for a .611 batting average and 11 hits in the Angels' five-game defeat. Seemingly destined to become one of the game's greats, Lynn never met those lofty (and unfair) expectations, but he still produced 306 homers and more than 1,100 RBI in his injury-riddled career.After he collected 11 hits in five games and batted .611 in the 1982 Playoffs, Fred Lynn became the first player on a losing team to be named Most Valuable Player in a League Championship Series.

Arcand and Mego react to the $331 million contract that will keep Devers a Red Sox for the next 11 years.
