Podcasts about Boston Red Sox

Its the final show before the Chargers and Patriots meet on Wild Card Sunday and only one hour to get final thoughts out. with Chargers seemingly playing to face the Pats last week, how much motivation is there for Mike Vrabel's team? Then, Chris Price of The Boston Globe joins the show for his keys to Sunday night's matchup and Derwin James being the big factor for Drake Maye. And, a quick preview of tomorrow's Fenway Fest and the giant gap in arbitration between the Detroit Tigers and Tarik Skubal.

It's been a quiet week in the world of the Boston Red Sox - as pitchers and catchers report in just a month's time, and the Sox now remain as the only major league team to not sign a free agent. Joey Copponi and Scott Neville discuss the ins and outs of the Red Sox' current situation, where things stand with Bregman and Bichette, and much more!

Is it Red Sox vs the Yankees? Or is it the Lakers or the Celtics? Or is it something else? Maybe Ohio State vs Michigan?

The Red Sox reportedly made an aggressive offer to Alex Bregman but it's been crickets since. -What's The Hold Up? -Bo Bichette Possibility -Bello's Trade Value -Mayer At 3B? -Yoshida & Casas -E-Rod & Verdugo NEW MERCH: ⁠https://section10merch.com⁠ Use promo code “Jared” to get up to $1000 in bonus credits AND a special pick on Underdog! PLAY HERE: ⁠https://play.underdogfantasy.com/pc-d2PyPbHAPu⁠ Get Blue Moon Light delivered by visiting https://get.bluemoonbeer.com/JARED for delivery options.

A lot to discuss in tonight's Headlines including a reset on the firing of John Harbaugh, another MLB move that the Red Sox aren't a part of, and the Athletics looking for a new name when they move to Las Vegas.

During tonight's Headlines, Arcand tries to point the finger away from John Henry and more at Tom Werner. What should we make of a reported "willingness" to spend big by the Red Sox to get Alex Bregman back? Then, a shoutout to two local artists who are going viral for their own Drake Maye anthem in the New England Nightly News. And, diving into the rest of the NFL playoff slate and which games are the most compelling.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Wednesday, January 7th, 2026.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have eyes on the next steps for the Blue Jays since it could affect the Red Sox. Will Toronto spend big for Kyle Tucker leaving Bo Bichette to find a new home? Also, the Red Sox could become a likely destination, but would have to decide between him or Alex Breman. Speaking of, more is coming out about just how aggressive the Sox offer is for Bregman which indicates they'll go big to bring Breggy back.

Mego, Lyons, and Turp get into some potential rumors regarding Josh McDaniels and the rest of the Patriots' front office. Will the offensive coordinator get a head coaching offer and will he actually accept it? Then, everyone should hope the holy trinity of Mike Vrabel, Eliot Wolf, and Ryan Cowden stick together in the Pats' front office otherwise it could all blow up. And, more has come out about just how aggressive the Red Sox are to bring back Alex Bregman, but either way both sides need each other and should make it happen.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show with Meghan Ottolini, Jon Lyons, and Justin Turpin filling in on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all finally in the same time zone to discuss the shocking signing of Kazuma Okamoto to the Blue Jays. What does this do for Toronto and more importantly the Red Sox for the rest of the offseason? Then, even though they haven't made any signings, the Sox have added almost the same amount of players as the Jays, but one definitely feels better than the other. And, Alex Bregman seemingly has an "aggressive" offer from the Sox, but if that report is leaked from Boston's end then who knows how aggressive the offer really is.

We start the third hour diving into tonight's Headlines featuring Jaylen Brown's monster stretch, a recap of black Monday in the NFL, and the Red Sox remaining quiet while the rest of the AL East bulks up. Then, an irrational fear of Arcand's strikes up following a story in Rhode Island in the New England Nightly News. And, Drake Maye leads quarterbacks in most categories, but adding to Matthew Stafford's resume seems to be why the Rams' QB is the MVP favorite.

Brian discusses his initial thoughts about the upcoming Patriots-Chargers playoff game, and why the Patriots should win, before hitting on Drake Maye's MVP case and what the Celtics should do with Jayson Tatum (0:00). Then, he chats with The Ringer's Justin Verrier about the Celtics' terrific season, Brad Stevens's amazing job as GM, where the Celtics rank among the NBA's top contenders, and more (24:40).

Fenway Park - it is OLD, it is GREASY, and it IS our favorite ballpark. We cover a LOT of ground. Firstly, player signings like Paul DeJong to the Yankees (hilarious) and Kazuma Okamoto to the Blue Jays (and what that means of the likelihood of a Bregman reunion??). We also cover how the current events in Venezuela might affect the baseball climate. The WBC might be a little tense. The Red Sox also have multiple players from Venezuela signed to the team. The events in Venezuela affect MLB and all baseball players. And THEN our favorite things about Fenway. Like I said - we cover a lot of ground!
