Summary

  • (00:00) With the trade deadline approaching, the Red Sox have some decisions to make if they want to take the next step. What do they need, and how do they get it? Alex Cora extension, and much more. 
  • Mark Daniels of MassLive joins the guys to talk Patriots football, training camp, the future of Bailey Zappe, Matthew Judon, the wide receiver situation, Jacoby Brissett, Drake Maye, and all things Pats. 
  • Wallach recalls his father’s baseball allegiance, Holley tells the audience who his kids idolized growing up, and the only fandom he forced on them, his alma mater.

I wanted to continue that discussion now.

0:42.8

Red Sox had last night off.

0:44.2

They play the struggling Yankees at Fenway Park tonight.

0:47.6

Yankees have lost 20 of their last 29 games and are really having problems, scoring runs, the pitching, which was pretty good for them, has not been good over the last two or three weeks.

1:00.3

But the deadline, the trade deadline is four days from now.

1:03.2

The heat is on for Craig Breslo to actually do something to improve a young team that has wildly overachieved.

1:10.0

Breslo said this week he's going to look for help and reports within the last 24 hours

1:55.5

going to do something. I need you to keep being vague about your plans. Don't tell people we're going to make a move because then we don't make a move. It's more bad PR for us. But it's just it. But now, I'm with Brazil on this one. Of course, you want to help out a team that's playing it, playing its heart out. But at the same time, this shows you the dynamic of the front office. I mean, it shows you that it wasn't Hyam Bloom's fault. Now, Bloom was not a good man for trades. He was not a good guy. Not a good trader.
