The Boston Red Sox face critical offseason decisions after their surprising 2025 playoff run. Can ownership capitalize on this young core's breakthrough, or will they fall back into familiar patterns of underwhelming spending?Host Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian examines three urgent questions confronting the Red Sox heading into 2026. The Rafael Devers trade to San Francisco left a massive power void that Roman Anthony hasn't yet filled. Alex Bregman needs re-signing, but is he enough? Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso emerge as prime targets to transform this lineup. Beyond the bats, the starting rotation remains uncertain behind ace Garrett Crochet, with Brayan Bello's September collapse raising concerns. The analysis challenges whether Craig Breslow and ownership truly believe this team can contend now, or if they'll shortchange fans with half-measures despite clear evidence the window is open.Discover whether the Red Sox will finally commit the resources necessary to build around their playoff-tested young core. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.

This podcast is just non stop whining. Criticism i can handle and there is a lot to go around for this team right now. but instead of providing in depth thoughtful review of the teams' player moves, the hosts just whine non stop about everything that happened this week, this year, last year and on and on.
