Truck Day has come and gone, pitchers and catchers will be reporting to Fort Myers in a week's time, and the Red Sox continue to be linked to Nolan Arenado. Is something actually gonna get done? Or would Bregman consider a deal similar to Pete Alonso's? His fit might make more sense for the Red Sox if he does. Plus, playing on the Utah Jazz sounds like hell. All that, and much more!

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): It was Truck Day this week which doesn't provide enthusiasm to Gordo, Sammy, and Pat like it did before and didn't feel any better with more Sam Kennedy comments. Should Red Sox fans continue to be angry with these words and could things actually work out for the Sox if a certain team that isn't them sign Alex Bregman? Then, Nolan Arenado is back on the table for a trade, but the dominoes and moving parts that go post-acquisition might be difficult to work with. And, Justin Turner may not be the sexy piece still left, but could be of benefit for the Sox if times really got tough.

Sirens will be blaring in the DuBois Walmart parking lot this Saturday, but it’s for a good reason... Touch-A-Truck Day! Kids are invited to Touch-A-Truck Day, sponsored by the Greater DuBois Chamber of Commerce, Glenn O. Hawbaker, DuBois Walmart, Firehouse Family Restaurant, and DuBois Kiwanis Club.

Hawbaker says it’s not just fun for the kids… it’s also eye-opening.
We debate if Mookie Betts is in fact the best athlete in MLB after winning the MVP and yet another trophy in bowling.

That and much more. Enjoy!

Anyway we start off talking how dumb Truck Day is, give a shoutout to our boy Wally, the Red Sox making a HUGE signing by bringing minor league Aneury Tavarez back, how people actually debated this guy's relevance with Jared on the Twitter machine, get into George A. King III getting blasted by Section 10 followers on Twitter, "Raffy Big Stick" making it onto a Devers baseball card, what Betts winning his arbitration case means for the Sox moving forward with Mookie, talk how awful the offseason continues to be, MLB absolutely needing to bring back bullpen carts, and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.
Rays Senior VP Chaim Bloom, play-by-play man Andy Freed, and it's Truck Day with Neil Solondz
Inside this edition of "Without a Curse," Alex explains why anybody who went to Truck Day at Fenway Park on Saturday morning is a loser. Boston has a plethora of great sporting traditions, but this manufactured marketing event is not one of them. There is a fine line between "passion" and "obsession," and those lonely souls who attend Truck Day cross it. Big time. Alex also previews Spring Training, as pitchers and catchers will report to Fort. Myers, Fla. within the next week. One of the top storylines to watch this spring is how David Ortiz handles himself, especially if Jon Lester receives a contract extension and he doesn't. The Red Sox's excess of starting pitchers on the major league roster, the possible battle in center field between Jackie Bradley Jr. and Grady Sizemore, whether Jonny Gomes will be able to handle being a bench player again and Will Middlebrook's possible integration into the lineup are talked about too. In the "Around the League" segment, Alex analyzes the significance of Freddie Freeman's eight-year, $135 million extension, and says it should remove any doubt that the pay scale in MLB has skyrocketed over the past year due to the influx of TV revenue in the game. Alex also talks about Alex Rodriguez's decision to drop his lawsuits against MLB, MLBPA and Bud Selig. Does this mean A-Rod hopes to play in 2015? In addition, Alex begins the show with a farewell to his old friend, Jay Leno. Email Alex at ajreimer0@gmail.com or areimer@streetwise-media.com. Follow him on Twitter @AlexReimer1. Next week will begin the "Without a Curse" six week MLB preview, as Alex will take a look at the AL East. Congratulations to Michael Sam, who will become the first openly active professional athlete in the four major American team sports this year.
The Super Bowl is over, which means that the doldrums of the sporting calender awaits us! But not to worry...it's "Truck Day" on Tuesday. Speaking of "Truck Day," pitcher's and catcher's report this week, which means it's time to talk about what realistic expectations are for the Red Sox this season. What questions face them? The "post of the day" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "Around the League" segment, Alex talks about Andy Pettitte's retirement, the disappointing Yankees' offseason, and more. Next Monday Alex will begin his "division-by-division" baseball preview with the AL East! "The Alex Reimer Show" airs Saturday's from 3-5 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.
