All right. So we'll get to the actual baseball in this team and the holes at the bottom of the lineup that needs to be addressed as they're back home for the first time and it feels like a month.

They wrapped up that 10-game road trip, salvaged a win in Minnesota yesterday. But back home,

open up a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners. And we will get to that, because there's a lot to talk about with this team and moves that they potentially need to make to shore up the bullpen and the possibility of adding another bat. But the big story that's potentially going to be breaking here in regard to Hanley Ramirez is what we need to touch on right off the top here. Hanley Ramirez, of course, DFAed by the Red Sox a month ago. There's been rumors floated around. I heard nearly a month ago. We've alluded to it here on Felger and Mazze and even on the baseball reporters recently. But now there's a tweet that proves said rumors might indeed be true.

And they are courtesy of investigative reporter Michelle McPhee, who tweeted within what,

the last half hour here, Hook, Henry Ramirez, former Red Sox infield, there has some, well,

issues being eyed in connection with an ongoing federal and state investigation.

Stay tuned. So why don't we hear from Michelle McPhee herself, who joins us here on the expert hotline, on the baseball reporters, on 985, the sports of. Good evening, Michelle. Hello. Good evening. How's it going? Excellent. Appreciate you taking the time. And also just want to plug your new book, Maximum Harm, Sarniv Brothers, the FBI, the Road of the Marathon bombing, available now? Yes, it's all there now, yep. All right, and you can find out more about that at Michelle McPhee.com. All right, so there's only so much that you can tell us, obviously, you know, your tweet is alluding to more here, but when did you first hear about this, and what more can you tell us about what's going on with haley ramirez well obviously i know absolutely nothing about sports or or you know uh hamley ramirez

the stats but what i do know is crack and uh there has been some some reports about um

a face time phone call that was made between a man during a car stop.
