Not Another Sox Podcast

The Red Sox make a splash with their first major move of the offseason. Sonny Gray, multi-time Cy Young nominated pitcher, will be joining the 2026 Red Sox. In return, the Red Sox have sent Richard Fitts and Brandon Clark to the Cardinals, along with absorbing half of Sonny Gray's remaining salary. To think, even after all this time, Chaim Bloom is still helping the Red Sox. Tyler, MiLB expert of @RedBirdFarmHand joins us. A Cardinals fan. A Cardinals PROSPECTS fan. And you know what? He likes the trade. Maybe Craig Breslow is cooking after all. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Red Sox, Yankees, and the most underrated American League players in the MLB. This writer's question, do you like Connor Wong? What about Adam (@dunkintern)? It was also a busy week of contract tendering and non-tendering. It's sad to see Bernie's face, though to be fair the Red Sox did send him to hell in exchange for soda in the vending machine. I hope Paul DePodesta is happy with his new Colorado Rockies. In this segment of "Under the Microscope", the middle infield - Jorge Polanco and Ha-Seong Kim. (Ha-Spongebob Kim. IYKYK.) Are these guys worth considering in Boston? We say yes, but with some caution. One thing we all know the Red Sox need is infield defense. That's why we need to take a good, hard look at what Bo Bichette actually does for us. DFAs, Non-tenders, the end of Josh Winckowski, and the background around the new guys in camp. Braiden Ward, Ronny Hernandez, Triston Gray, and co. Next, the Rule 5 draft? Kinda slaps. Also, Ian got a haircut. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We list the most underrated National League players - from the Dodgers to the Pirates. That list does include Andy Pages, most underrated bystander of the criminal investigation into Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz. The first free agent dominos are falling. Josh Naylor has re-signed with the Mariners for 5 years and Ryan Yarbrough returns to the Yankees. The second part is important, he has a 7.00+ ERA against the Red Sox. The Yankees suck. We are introducing a new offseason segment, Under The Microscope. We focused on the Red Sox first base need. What do Pete Alonso and Kazuma Okamoto look like when you zoom in?

Pokemon and Baseball. Two of any nerds favorite things. We are those nerds, and welcome to Pokemon Prospects. We are joined by Hunter Noll of Sox Prospects and Pesky Report, as well as Jake Wallinger of Pod On Lansdowne. It's a draft, but like, for nerds. Ever seen a Gigantamax Pikachu? What about a Gigantamax Eevee? Look it up. Ian made up the rules. There are constraints in this draft. Go to our Twitter page and vote - who built the best Pokemon team? The free agency stove hasn't started heating up yet. Sit with us, enjoy yourselves, agree, disagree, the world is your Cloyster.

Firstly, let's get one this straight - Cam Schlittler is illiterate. He can not read, he can not write, and he can not stop getting cooked by fans. That's right folks, Cam Schlitter used AI to write an apology to the city he was raised in. It's a very common thing for absolute clowns to do. Lucas Giolito and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on declining their mutual option. The Boston Red Sox did not extend Giolito a qualifying offer. It's a shame, he would have been such a wonderful 60-day IL. Trevor Story, on the other hand, opts in to the remaining two years of his deal. We're happy about it. The off-season started by needing all four infield positions filled, now you only need three. We will welcome Trevor Story with open arms! At second base!

The Blue Jays blew it. This writer actually dozed off for a moment because he thought the Blue Jays had it in the bag. Even funnier was this was all done at the hands of impending free agent Miguel Rojas. Yamamoto, king of the roost, World Series MVP, has accomplished more in this World Series than most other pitchers in history; and most importantly, more than all the 2024 World Series Yankees team combined. Now, we look at the Red Sox offseason. There is a lot of work today, I'm sure our buddy Brez is just as aware. Halloween is over, bucko, now give us the candy. Disclaimer: We love Japan.

The World Series would be a lot more exciting if the Red Sox were playing in it against the Dodgers. Say one nice thing about the Toronto Blue Jays! See? You can't. Historic moments are happening left and right. Ohtani's 3-home run game, Addison Barger's pinch hit grand slam, Yamamoto's back-to-back complete games. We have agreed that the 2025 Blue Jays are a significantly better team than the 2024 Yankees. Red Sox fans are in the waiting period. We have some early off-season roster construction, even "The Bregman Backup Plan" (TM). We've got eyes on Mayer, we've got eyes on Campbell. Kristian, not Isaiah.

Wow, if it wasn't two teams that no one wanted! Can't wait for this to go down as one of the world series that ever happened. It'll be blue on blue crime. We hope both teams lose. Let's go, nobody. Jose De Leon elected free agency. I miss the Red Sox.

The Seattle Red Sox are on fire. They just crushed The Blue Jays like it was nothing. You know, The Blue Jays? That team that crushed that fraud team the New York Yankees? There is much to consider. The Red Sox coaching staff has been invited back. Most of them, anyway. Even the ones we don't like. There's also a word on the street that Aaron Boone will not be returning to the Yankees. Sad! Anyone else see that press conference the other day? What did you think? We have an early off-season list. It's the middle infield. The rotation goes without saying.

The Red Sox blew it. They blew it, plain and simple. You think the Yankees are a good enough team to win on their own? Look at how the Blue Jays series has been going for them. Another year of being doomed to hate-watch. Crochet fought for it. So did Story, Chapman, Yoshida, Eaton, Sogard. You know, the usual suspects. Jack Webster will be hitching his wagon to the Seattle Mariners, he wants to see their first world series trip. Will they ever beat The Dodgers? Los Doyers? Unlikely. Though, let's be honest, a 2025 Mariners vs Brewers World Series would slap. I might even buy a hat.

It's the playoffs. The air is different, the strategy is different, but our hope for the results against the Yankees is the same. Game one of the wild card series takes place in New York at the new, improperly built, Yankee Stadium. Did you know at the time of building the new stadium, the rules were that all outfield walls had to be a minimum of 325 feet? And the Yankees just ignored that? As it stands, we are expecting Crochet vs Fried game 1 and Bello vs Rodon game 2. We haven't looked at game 3 yet. The prediction is Sox in 2.

WARNING: VOLUME. The Red Sox, for the first time since 2021, have clinched a playoff spot. Hear our live reactions from the bottom of the 9th. Ceddanne Rafaela loves the big moment, and boy does he ever. A centerfielder with a feel for the moment. The "clutch" gene, in medical terms. Dare I say, this team's got guts. On to October.

Six to go. Playoff odds are over 90%. We are waiting, observing, nooticing. Ian is back from Italy after a less than stellar week of baseball. The As, the Rays, the Red Sox grounding into double plays. You gotta wonder if we have it, especially getting ready to face the Blue Jays and the Tigers. We asked for meaningful September baseball, and the monkey paw curls. Hopefully we'll see you in October.

No Ian this week, but Jack brings in Will and Steve from Yankees files over a cross over episode! The weekend might have not gone the Red Sox way, but they still won the season series. We go over a wide range of topics about each team including the MVP race, wild card matchups, hall of fame discussion and more!

Welcome back to another episode of NASP! It was a weird week of baseball with lots of inquires, but we somehow went 3-3. The playoff stretch is in full force and we are just begging the Red Sox to not blow this the last few weeks of the season. Losing Roman Anthony really sucks and you could instantly tell the difference between him on the team vs off. Plus a fun little game of who you would make a baseball team out of from band members.

This was a fun week in Red Sox baseball. All good things, all good things. Except Jordan Hicks and losing to the Pirates. Payton Tolle has arrived. He's a shover. 8ks in 5.1IP is as much as you could ask for. I'm glad the developers took their time with this one. Jack admits to having the tingles. He thinks this is a special team. It might be love. Are we, pause for effect, playoff bound? Linktree NASP Instagram NASP Twitter Ian's Twitter Jack's Twitter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nothing tastes worse than Orioles losses. Nothing tastes better than Yankee tears. 27 rings can't stand up to the awesome might of a dozen semi-drunk, bearded, Irish baseball fans. First, stop leaving the bases loaded against the Orioles. Stop it. Stop leaving the bases loaded in general, really. You're the Red Sox. Start acting like it. Anyway, the Twitter gang took New York City. We were in person to watch Garrett Crochet put the Yankees to bed and strike out Aaron Judge for his 200th K this season. Ask me if it gets better than that. It does actually. There was a Yankees fan behind us who we escorted out after watching Paul Blackburn collapse.

The Red Sox have a lot of promising up-and-comers. What does it look like when a prospect transverses the gap to the major leagues? Hunter Noll has a lot to say about who we should be looking at in the coming years. This week in Red Sox baseball was lackluster. Crochet got knocked around for the first time in his Red Sox tenure. We lost a game to the Marlins in embarrassing fashion. Truthfully, don't we all wish the Red Sox could have done better than 3/6 this week. It is still a competitive team, and it will become a more competitive team in the years to come. At least, that is the consensus from our prospect eye-in-the-sky Hunter Noll.

We wanted four wins, we got three. Mid. Average. Pedestrian. The Royals? A cake walk. Garrett Crochet? Good. Dustin May? New. Jordan Hicks? Come on. We knew we had to beat the Royals, you just needed to keep the lid on Booby Witt and the Pasquatch. We aren't quite sure why they bought at the deadline, but hey, not our ball club. Then, the Padres. Almost embarrassing. Plenty of classic Red Sox mistakes. Failure to capitalize on opportunities. Opportunities to WIN. But, is Buehler heading in the right direction? One can only hope. Also, amazing what the Yankees facial hair policy reversal has done to their relievers. Be real funny if they...reversed it.
