Podcasts about Boston Red Sox

Bradfo is hanging out with Mego and Lyons keeping the Red Sox conversation going. With a recent example in the Blue Jays, Rob explains the power that comes with making and/or winning a World Series that organizations are missing out on. Then, in the New England Nightly News, a bad norovirus outbreak in Medford sparks bad memories for Mego and ideas come pitching in after regulation has been approved for a cannabis café. And, final thoughts about the Red Sox and how ownership could see this strategy as crazy as it seems leading to championship contention.

Mego and Lyons continue by talking about Jaylen Brown's rise to MVP consideration despite last night's loss in Milwaukee. Could a potential return of Jayson Tatum derail this run? Then, Rob Bradford joins in studio days after returning from the Winter Meetings and calls out the Red Sox like everyone else for letting a guy like Pete Alonso slip from their laps. And, when the Sox missed on Max Fried they quickly went to Garrett Crochet. However, they can't do this with the power bat in losing Pete Alonso.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show with Meghan Ottolini and Jon Lyons filling in on Friday, December 12th, 2025.

For the first time this season, Jaylen Brown was mentioned in the MVP conversation from the NBA and its about time he's been given that recognition even if Jayson Tatum creeps closer to a return.

Fresh off being at the Winter Meetings, Bradfo hops in studio with Mego and Lyons and gives his thought on the Red Sox striking out and how they'll pivot to improve the roster (which is still likely).

Sure the Red Sox aren't spending big bucks and the business model has changed, but instantly calling John Henry cheap and not caring feels like an instant cop out.

Hour 1 - Is Jayson Tatum trying to strong arm the Celtics into returning earlier? Can Maye lock up the MVP on Sunday and are Red Sox diehards going extinct?

Scheim and Curtis give their leads for the morning. Could Maye lock up the MVP this Sunday and are diehard Red Sox fans going extinct?

There are 90 minutes tonight to keep raging over the Red Sox not signing free agents during the Winter Meetings. Confusion arises where if the reports say the Sox loved Kyle Schwarber, then why wasn't there an offer given to him?! Then, between that and the uncompetitive Pete Alonso offer, you have to go back to JD Martinez to find the last big name player the Sox targeted for a long time and eventually signed. Those days appear to be long gone now. And, some thoughts on how the Bills have changed since losing to the Patriots at home and how desperate they will be this Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

Sure the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman last offseason, but that came along very quickly. The last big fish the Sox wanted early on and made a push for was JD Martinez before the 2018 season and we haven't seen anything like it since.

(00:00) Zolak & Bertrand start the hour by touching on how to fix the Red Sox offense with Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber going elsewhere.(12:31) The crew touches on who is to blame for the Red Sox spending… Craig Breslow or John Henry.(25:06) We dive into the biggest storylines for Week 15 with Read & React.(37:29) The guys are visited by Phil Perry a little earlier than usual.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike and Jesse are back and are joined by attorney Paul Lesko who dissects the Panini-Fanatics antitrust lawsuit, revealing a major conflict: Panini is risking its own court credibility by showing potential buyers documents that claim their unlicensed products can outperform licensed ones, directly contradicting their courtroom defense. He also touches on the related Wild Card lawsuit, where Panini is accused of threatening distributors who worked with Wild Card. Separately, the Nikola Jokic card market is poised for growth as the star is officially signing with Topps. Plus, the guys debate which NFL quarterbacks to buy now and flip before the Super Bowl. Mike argues for Matthew Stafford, who is quietly building an unbelievable Hall of Fame resume, ranking top-10 all-time in major passing stats and is currently a top MVP candidate alongside Drake Maye. The ultimate market wild card is 44-year-old Philip Rivers who is joining the Colts' practice squad and could end up starting for them this season. In the baseball world, it's free agency time and Mike vents about the Red Sox refusing to sign big free agents, like Pete Alonso, despite the team's need for a power bat. Are young Orioles stars like Adley Rutschman and Gunner Henderson sneaky good value buys right now? The episode concludes with a look at the enduring cultural power of Pokémon cards among modern athletes and the high sale prices of crossover collectibles. Plus, upcoming card releases the guys will be breaking over the next few days. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Christian is joined by Gordo and Sammy from "Play Tessie" to further the Red Sox conversation about them not signing Pete Alonso. How much harder did things get for Craig Breslow and company to try and salvage their offseason? Then, everything has come down to money, budgets, and values which doesn't seem like a winning formula.

The Winter Meetings are over, but the bitter feelings about the Red Sox missing the power bats in free agency linger. More comes out about the Sox loving both Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso yet no offer or an uncompetitive offer was made.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Wednesday, December 10th, 2025.

Analyzing the postgame interview from Fernando Mendoza, reliving the great moments from Joe Buck, and Christian's favorite cartoons in tonight's Arcand Fire.

Two of three dudes from the "Play Tessie" podcast Gordo and Sammy are in studio to help sulk into the Red Sox lack of signing Pete Alonso and why things just got even harder for the Sox to try and improve their roster.

Every signing and target from the Red Sox seems to have a value or a budget on them which when there is a window of contention, won't work for bringing in certainty.

Reports of an offer for Pete Alonso wasn't close to what he got from the Orioles and the culprit seems to remain the same: John Henry's budget.

Everyone in Red Sox nation is up in arms following the Sox losing out on Pete Alonso to the Orioles. What kind of long-term consequences did Boston just put themselves in? Then, the Sox offer for Alonso appears to not be close to what he got meaning John Henry again installed a firm budget for Craig Breslow to spend. And, if Henry isn't giving out big contracts to help compete, what exactly is he doing then?

There could be a changing of the guard among NFL quarterbacks starting this season and lead by Drake Maye. How sooner could guys like Maye and Bo Nix replace Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts? Then, we relive the great calls of Joe Buck as he wins the Ford Frick Award and the great cartoons of Christian's childhood in Arcand Fire. And, a viral trend has been shut down by In-N-Out in Clickbait.
