From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Amidst a wild series in Minnesota so far, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all focused on the trade deadline which is now less than 48 hours away. Have the expectations changed because of the high price for controllable pieces? Also, rental starting pitchers seem to be the fad and a rumored name in Charlie Morton could be an option along with a Cleveland pitcher who's been in Sox rumors before. And, the bullpen name the guys would love to trade for and the likelihood the Rays decide to ship out Yandy Diaz.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo and Sammy react to Pat's "Who Says No" proposal that goes within the division and the Sox finding their right-handed hitter with the Rays' Yandy Diaz. Would Boston and Tampa agree to send Diaz up north and which familiar bullpen arm would be included? Also, the guys question Diaz' fit as a position, but an additional move involving Masataka Yoshida could solve that problem. And, how much better would the Sox lineup against lefties do with Diaz in the mix?

PHNX BLACK FRIDAY! Up to 75% off! https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker We are searching for Black Friday deals for the Diamondbacks at first base, but they may have already found their own deal in hiring Wellington Cepeda as their bullpen and assistant pitching coach. They might in fact be giving out the best deal of the season once again with their $299 Ballpark Pass. Meanwhile, we discuss if adding Yandy Diaz via trade or Justin Turner via free agency makes the most sense for the Snakes and their shopping budget. We also dream about adding Cam Skattebo to the D-backs roster after he confessed that if he wasn't playing football for ASU he would be mashing dingers in baseball.
