In The Dugout Podcast

PREDICTIONS EPISODE! We give our predictions for the 2024 Red Sox season, including some BOLD ones. We also do a series preview for the opening series in Seattle, and get in some weekly Bobby Dalbec talk. Enjoy, go Sox!

We started off this episode very optimistic, talking about the Brayan Bello extension, highlighting the guys going off in Spring Training, and how good the offense looks. But then we realized we have no pitching depth and fell back into negativity as we broke down the weak rotation, discussed if Kenley even wants to play baseball anymore, and more. Fear not, we also got some classic Bobby Dalbec talk in as well. Great episode, enjoy!

Fenway Park has real ketchup again! That's hands down the biggest news of the offseason. Other than that, we breakdown the state of the Red Sox in Spring Training right now including the status of Jordan Montgomery's free agency outlook. We also run through a roster prediction, discuss the outfield alignment and bench roster crunch, and talk about the Liam Hendriks signing and its impact on Kenley. Full breakdown on everything coming out of Sox camp and the team heading deeper into spring, enjoy! 

This Red Sox team is like unseasoned meatloaf. We discuss the comments coming out of Spring Training camp and how bad the vibes are. We also talk about the idea of signing Trevor Bauer, the wonderful Michael Fulmer signing, and why we want Tommy Pham. Then we touch on the Red Sox Netflix special that was announced and Theo Epstein joining Fenway Sports Group. And Joey makes a BOLD prediction to end the show. Great episode, enjoy! 

We're in a downhill spiral as Red Sox ownership froze payroll and called us all liars. Being a Red Sox fan is not fun right now, so we rant about the state of our broken franchise. We discuss Justin Turner signing with the Blue Jays, the comments made by ownership at Winter Weekend, the logical errors in betting on the future of our young core, the possibility of Adam Duvall coming back, and much more. A fantastic therapy episode for frustrated Sox fans, enjoy!

The Red Sox refuse to spend money and are passing on big name free agents. It's looking like they won't be competitive in 2024. There is a solution though and it's Bobby Dalbec! Give me Bob in the 4-hole! Anyways, we talk about how spineless ownership is with all their empty promises and cheap spending. We rant about the lack of direction or consistency with their moves, how they're wasting Devers' prime, and the reputation all of this is creating for them. We also breakdown the Lucas Giolito signing, discuss the Chris Sale trade, and a lot more.  We are BACK with a new logo and consistent episode recording, let's roll! 

Heart of the offseason... lots of opportunities... please don't blow it! After the first real domino falls for the Sox this offseason in the form of Alex Verdugo being traded to the Yankees, we dive into everything. We break down the Dugie trade and return, discuss the Sox losing prospect Shane Drohan in the Rule-5 draft, talk about Yoshinobu Yamamoto's odds of landing in Boston, discuss the state of the team, and a lot more. We also circle back to officially breakdown the Craig Breslow hire as well as Andrew Bailey. Loaded episode with lots of great baseball talk! 

The season is over and we're talking all about it! But first, we discuss the tragic news of Tim Wakefield's passing. A great player, teammate, and person that will be missed greatly. We then get into our season awards, review our predictions, and talk about the state of this team heading into the offseason. We also answer a bunch of your questions, and we even get a rare Ruben Amaro Jr. reference! Big episode, jam packed! 

EMERGENCY POD: Chaim Bloom was fired by the Red Sox! We dive deep into some baseball talk to break down this news. We discuss how Chaim did his job in Boston and now it's time to get back to being all-in on winning, who we think will replace him, and how we view the future of this organization. We also talk about Alex Cora's future and whether or not he could move to the front office. Red Sox fans finally have reasons to be excited and optimistic about our future. It's a beautiful thing! 

It's been awhile since we recorded, but the exact same story to the season. It's been ups and downs while the Red Sox playoff hopes fade. We discuss what's gone wrong this season, including James Paxton's struggles, the lack of depth, and awful defense. Then we talk about how to fix it and how to get back to being legit playoff competitors next season. We also predict how the season will end. Enjoy!
