Not Another Sox Podcast

Would you believe it has been 40 weeks in a row that the Red Sox have gone 2-4? You probably would, because it's true!

Team looks exactly the same as last week. You've got one hot hitter in Caleb Durbin, some strong pitching performances from the usual suspects, and losing the sweep again.

We ask if Breslow survives the deadline. We have mixed feelings. Though there are player on this team that once again technically get mustard. The rest of the mustard went to the Scottish army.

Bible verses pervaded MLB news this week...

Welcome back to our Red Sox podcast, for some reason.

Happy birthday Ian, who was in the city when the Knicks won it in 5.

We got swept by the Rays, would not recommend. Pretty embarrassing, actually. Pitching has been so spooky. As have the bats.

Craig Breslow's job is "safe". (No it's not).

Sam Kennedy thinks we're sellers at the deadline. (Don't trade Willy the Scott Contreras).

Come hang!

Brayan Bello needs to fall in love with baseball again. So do we, actually. Hard to be in love with this Red Sox team.

After a pummeling from the Orioles for some reason, and splitting the current series with the Yankees (until August), the Red Sox put together what could technically be called another week of baseball.

Jack and Ian discuss who should be the next GM of the Boston Red Sox. Hint, it's actually the podcasters.

Kahnle is up, La Sorsa is signed. Who's next, Mike Trout?

You'd never believe, the Boston Red Sox. That's right, I said it. They are a baseball team. One of the baseball teams of all time. Three catchers, a hope, and a goofy roster.

What a weird team, man. Blew out the Guardians like it was nobody's business TWICE. Somehow won a game against the Braves with a young pitcher. Lost three games this week to stupidity. That, and the contributions of Greg Weissert.

Duran is back, and just in time. Man do we need him. 9 home runs in the month of May. Just wait for...

We have a guest tonight to talk about the Twins. You know what we have to say about the Red Sox. Sorry if this description offends.

You know how the Twins series ended with us playing at Fenway in the rain? That's kind of like what the whole Red Sox 2026 experience has been like. They sent us at 3rd for no reason other than we wanted to lose the game.

After such an excellent Royals series, too! Jarren Duran turned on a little bit, the offense was timely, only for it to not carry over...

Red Sox still suck. And we're just going to let Craig Breslow get away with this? How disappointing does this team have to be?

We got Bello, not good. Crochet is injured, not good. Roman Anthony is injured, maybe back soon. But is that it? Where are the reinforcements? Nowhere, that's where.

Another disappointing week of Sox baseball. Feel my fury. Or don't, I actually feel nothing at all for this team.

We are joined by Jesus. You heard that right; Jesus.

The Red Sox need to be blessed. Some of you may have seen Jesus around Fenway park, he's an avid fan of the stockings. There's quite a story behind it, too.

There's no denying the sox need a miracle. Jesus is aiming to give them one. Jesus, for the love of God, please, just one miracle.

Jack goes crazy on the soundboard. Tune in!

Why do I keep losing? Somebody, please, tell me. I am looking for advice.

Go on Twitter right now and give me fantasy advice - @IanDoranNASP

Anyway, Jeremy Bagdad of Section WHATEVER dude wins another silly week. This game is rigged.

The actor opposite Marcelo Mayer in the CarShield commercial joins the show (he is a Dodgers fan).

Did you know there are four other versions of CarShield commercials? Ryan Mountcastle, Junior Caminero, Jason Alexander, and JJ Wetherholt. That's right, go get your fill! Though we did ask Patrick if he could throw the first pitch at CarShield night at Fenway.

Second half of the show is unfortunately Red Sox talk with Sea Dogs Mark. Listen, we're not happy about it either. It is our job as the media. Is Durbin the key?

The name's Sox. Chad Sox.

The Red Sox, as of this episode note, are undefeated in the era of Chad Tracy. Many are calling them "The Chad Sox".

It's hard to describe the Bres-nado that hit Baltimore this weekend. A dumper from Brayan Bello, a full managerial overhaul, and the longest Connelly Early stretch we've seen so far. It's hard not to talk about.

Cora will always have 2018, and Varitek will always be a legend in Boston.

This sucks, man. The Red Sox have an offense problem and now a Crochet problem. Which sucks, we need him to anchor the rotation.

The Red Sox got rocked in Minnesota, and right now are getting rocked on their home turf by the Tigers. What is going on with this team? It's gotta be the coaching staff, right? Right, Peter Fatse?

As of writing this, Sox are 8-13. Hint, not good. Usually, you want the bigger number to come first.

Anyway, Ian went to his first Fenway game of the season. Masa walked...

Defending champ Fitzgerald Mo Pena is back for more after peppering the Yahoo coding to play in his favor. You can see why everyone in the league has this guy under close watch.

What won't you do to win, Fitzgerald? Who's children won't you consume on your way to the top?

Rough third week for Ian of NASP. Mostly because of the ever present cheating scandal. Also because of Max Scherzer, who I would recommend against picking up. It is time.

Stay tuned for more fantasy!

Classic Red Sox, yanking our chain. Hot and cold, yes and no; as Katie Perry would say.

There's so much to digest. The early season Red Sox are the worst lover I've ever known. You win the Brewers series, an excellent team. You lose to Dustin May, inexplicably. You win the Cardinals series. You'll understand why Jack and I have mixed views on believing in this team.

Who gave it a little extra mustard? Plenty of guys. Not Peter Fatse. We still do not like him. NESN camera guy also gets no mustard. Ian goes...

What if Garrett Crochet throws a perfect game tonight? 27 outs to go!

This team looks exactly like the same team I've been watching the last 5 years - a stunning disappointment. Connor Wong is our on-base leader, tied with Masataka Yoshida (whom I love).

Many say it's because we're playing good teams but the "Sell the team!"s chants are coming from inside the house. John Henry is never selling this team, cretins. He makes too much money off of our stupid asses.

Join our worry and fury. Should be fun.

The 2026 baseball season is open. And, just like that, it's over!

That's right, we lost two games to old friend Terry Francona and his sidekick Eugenio Suarez. Time to immediately doom and gloom. 162-0 is off the table. Call it a season.

What do Garrett Crochet and Connelly Early have in common? Shoved. That's right, shoved. Even better, Wilyer with the bonks. That's why they call him bonkin' Wilyer.

Three games in and there's a lot to notice with this team. Even Connor Wong had an extra base hit! Maybe the 2026 Red Sox...

The day is finally here - opening day baseball. Unfortunate that the opening day is the Yankees (YUCK!) but Thursday at 4pm in Cincinnati, it is your very own Boston Red Sox.

The stockings have announced their full roster, including a rotation with Connelly Early. Wowza, gee whiz! Will he carve up the Reds? You are only allowed to vote yes.

The AL East - The Red Sox, The Blue Jays, The Rays, The Orioles, and even The "Yankees".

Some returning friends and some new faces to talk about what they think of their team's offseasons. Wall treachery, free agent signings, and even better the Yankees are miserable. Good for all of us.

Alex of Rays the Roof, Lizzy of Jay Bird Watching, Stanzo of George's Box Pod, and Ian of Another Orioles Podcast join host Jack Webster of Not Another Sox Podcast in this exciting meeting of the minds. Well, meeting of the minds and "...

Ian is wearing a Mexico shirt, everyone go yell at him on Twitter.

We've been glued to our World Baseball Classic screens. As it turns out, this rocks. How does it feel to watch your favorite baseball players playing on massive teams all day every day?

The night we are recording is USA vs Mexico. Outside of the final, it's probably the biggest game of the Classic. By the time you read this a winner will have been decided. The winner is the fan.

Go baseball.

The World Baseball Classic slams. And the Red Sox are heavily represented. Pool play is next, hear our favorite matchups from Pools A, B, C, and D.

That's right, we are also talking about Jarren Duran, team Mexico favorite and Red Sox odd duck outfielder. He looks good in spring training. Apologies, we will not be taking notes on his spring performance at this time.

If team Italy wins the WBC, Jack Webster will be giving Ian the dollar.

Baseball games are playing again!

Soup to nuts - how did the Red Sox offseason go this winter. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, what did all of your Fenway hotdogs pay for?

It was mostly waiting for Sam Kennedy to get a clue.

This team is better. It is. Don't tell me it's not. We would have loved this team with Bregman, Marte, Ryan, but this team is undeniably better than it was. Not the Yankees. Those guys are barely a dingy without a hole.

Tim Healey, Red Sox beat reporter. Raised on the beat streets of Miami and baptized in the Boston fires of the Rafael Devers trade. Tim gives us the low-down - walks us through the marathon, if you will.

WBC is coming up, Roman Anthony has been cleared to play for team USA. Tim estimates that he would start for the team 54.5% of the time. Say what you will about Roman Anthony, I love him.

Spring training has begun. There are a few early standouts. Believe it or not, Tim likes Wilyer Abreu. He also likes...

For everyone that protested the Bad Bunny show, Alex Cora liked it.

Red Sox this week acquired the most rag tag group of infielders. Tsung-Che Cheng, Mickey Gasper, Brendan Rogers, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Caleb Durbin, and both of the other two guys that came over in the Caleb Durbin trade. Breslow really said "Oops, all infielders!"

On the other side of the world, Detroit, Skubal sets an arbitration record. Showing up with props to his hearing, his back to back Cy Young awards. Plopping them big, fat awards right on the table. What does that mean...

We will be releasing this episode every day for the next 33 years, the same amount of time that Bill Murray was presumably stuck in Groundhog's Day. Which is stupid because if the writers of Groundhog's Day knew anything it's that Bill Murray presumably would have been stuck in Groundhog's Day for 6 weeks.

That being said, Jordan Hicks improved the Red Sox today. He now plays for the White Sox. Thanks Breslow, you never let us down!

Oh yeah and we are joined by Emmy award winner @SeaDogsMark. Sponsor us, Smirnoff Ice!

Remember the 2016 Red Sox? Gabby Maljanian of Locked-On Sox surely does. The 2016 Red Sox, somehow, look like a baseball Hollywood walk of fame. Funny because they didn't win the series that year, right?

But you know who did win? Rick Porcello, 2016 Cy Young.

Crazy, too that this was the final year of David Ortiz' playing career. Reminder that this year he led the league in doubles and RBIs. This was also the year of 9.8 bWAR Mookie Betts. And all-star knuckleballer Steven Wright.

And Cubs star closer Aroldis Chapman.

The Red Sox are connected to a plethora of potential trade candidates - some we like (Nico Hoerner) more than others (Brendan Donovan). Like, significantly more.

There was also plenty of record setting and record cucking news in baseball this week - including Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers on the largest AAV contract ever given out, and Bo Bichette to the Mets on the Bregman sweetheart deal. The Mets are the weirdest group of infielders I think I've seen, maybe ever.

Paredes is the most likely option to end up in Boston, but he is...

The Boston Red Sox sign an actual player to an actual deal. Yes, in the year of our lord 2026, Craig Breslow gives $130mm to Ranger Suarez. Of the three available Suarezes on the market, this one is by far our favorite.

To think Suarez and Gray are splitting the duties as your #2 and #3 pitchers respectively is all Red Sox fans have dreamed about since 2018. Finally, the Red Sox sign a player for just money. No prospects, no contract splits, just money.

There's still some redeeming to do so keep it together, Breslow.

Linktree<...

Breslow, you f*cking stiff. You let Bregman walk. And for what? For a no-trade clause? Really? What are we doing here?

We are joined by newly minted king of the Barstool barverse @Hogdale_ who was in Chicago when the deal went down. Think of it like the girl from Hereditary who is by herself at the party and then on the car ride home sticks her head out the window to be decapitated.

The (Red Sox) nation turns it's eyes to Bichette, who we unfortunately have zero faith that the front office will pony...

Fenway Park - it is OLD, it is GREASY, and it IS our favorite ballpark.

We cover a LOT of ground. Firstly, player signings like Paul DeJong to the Yankees (hilarious) and Kazuma Okamoto to the Blue Jays (and what that means of the likelihood of a Bregman reunion??).

We also cover how the current events in Venezuela might affect the baseball climate. The WBC might be a little tense. The Red Sox also have multiple players from Venezuela signed to the team. The events in Venezuela affect MLB and all baseball players.

From the Cardinals trades to Twitter's finest, it has definitely proved to be as spicy as it has been boring for the Red Sox.

Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras are both welcome additions to the Red Sox. They were the right moves. No free agents yet... Come on Craig, don't let us down.

Twitter has been the most entertaining part of the offseason! At the hands of prominent Red Sox troll @KutterIsKing, both Cam Schlittler and Jazz Chisholm have been ratio-ed. May they RIP in peace.

Happy New Year from your friends at...

The Boston Red Sox acquire Willson Contreras via trade with the Cardinals. Hunter Dobbins was sent back to St. Louis in the trade.

On the 8th night of Hanukkah, Breslow and Bloom celebrated with their two ultimate gifts. Bloom gets back the starting pitcher he drafted and Red Sox fill the enormous hole they've had at 1B.

We are extremely excited to welcome Contreras, he hit big bonk. Our friend Tyler (Twitter's @RedBirdFarmHand) jumped in to talk about his excitement to get Dobbins, though he is going to miss the Cardinals 1B king.

...

Red Sox starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins, former 3B for Texas Tech, joins the pod. He catches us up on all things rehab. His secret ingredient? Dr. Pepper.

This episode is chock-full of insider info! We turn over stats, results, tweaks, stuff. The running mindset tends to be that "it doesn't matter how the work gets done, as long as it gets done."

We also meet Hunter's dog Macy, absolute goofball. She is the life of the party.

Hunter answers fan questions and joins us for a miniature round of baseball Jeopardy! Enjoy this...

On the second night of Hanukkah, we have Australian wrestler and Red Sox fan @RedSoxYapper.

After seeing the Red Sox in 2008, she became locked in for life. Yes, we also asked why. She loves Marcelo Mayer, Wilyer Abreu, and if she became a Red Sox fan in 2008, statistically likely that she likes Jason Bay (we forgot to ask).

Tonight being the second night of Hannukah is important. Craig Breslow is celebrating, and the presents get bigger every night. If we got breaking news with a Red Sox trade on night two (Jake Bennett), imagine what...

Alonso signed with the Orioles today, and Twitter CRASHED OUT.

How do we feel about it? Less heartbroken than you think. Actually, Jack is pretty mad. He felt like we watched the Red Sox take a back seat while other teams got in on the action.

Special guest Fitzy Mo Pena of Pod on Lansdowne joins the show. Many are calling him America's sweetheart. Jake and Liam make an appearance later in the episode in our reindeer games. Fitz has some opinions on the state of the market, and the state of the Red Sox.<...

Day 2 of the 2025 Winter Meetings and the Boston Red Sox rumor mill is SWIRLING. You name 'em, we want 'em.

The Red Sox have been connected to Ketel Marte, Isaac Paredes, Bo Bichette, Corey Seager, to name a few. Somehow, the Red Sox ended up with enough young, controllable starting pitching to feed families from Texas to Arizona.

Our sweet bonk boy Kyle Schwarber signed today with the Philadelphia Phillies. Who wouldn't have loved that 50 home run power in Boston. Alas, with Pete Alonso, we persevere.

We did make a signing today! Alec...

Today was day one of the MLB Winter Meetings. Many trade rumors and free agent rumors are spiraling. How will Craig Breslow steer the Boston Red Sox ship this year?

Returning from last year, we are joined by Red Seat Radio. We have high hopes for the Sox. For the trades. For Pete Alonso. For Ketel Marte. For Cole Ragans. To name a few.

Casas should still matter if you sign Alonso. Does Bregman still matter if you trade for Marte?

Our heads are swirling with possibilities of meaningful upgrades. To top it...

We are still high on Sonny Gray coming to Boston. A major move that really balances out the Red Sox rotation. After seeing what Dylan Cease got in free agency, Craig Breslow did the right thing.

You do not need a J.T. Realmuto. There are other screaming areas of need before you throw $20 million at a catcher position. Imagine throwing $20 million at Bregman? Or at the Foxy Lady's annual Legs and Eggs?

We wrap things up with the most polarizing conversation of the Red Sox offseason - which outfielder to trade. Jack is of...

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...
