From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu went viral Tuesday after breaking a bat just by merely checking his swing. The next day, Bradfo was there when Abreu explained exactly what happened. But to advance the conversation, Bradfo also caught up with the OG of breaking a bat on a check swing, Hall of Famer Jim Rice. There aren't a lot of players who have experienced such a thing, and we just so happened to catch up with two of them.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Let the games begin! Its time for Gordo, Sammy, and Pat to talk about the first set of games for the Red Sox this Spring Training. With eyes on the starting rotation, who will be the fifth starter in that rotation after the spring? Also, Johan Oviedo's upside gives him a good chance to earn a spot in the rotation. And, if we skipped Spring Training, it sounds like that final spot would go to the veteran Patrick Sandoval.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): To the surprise of many, we actually heard Red Sox ownership speak in the form of Tom Werner. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the candid comments Werner made about the Rafael Devers' saga and losing Alex Bregman. Also, should fans want ownership to speak out honestly or just to squash any stories that come up? And, Devers may still be in a Red Sox uniform if first base didn't become an issue with Triston Casas going down last season.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Isiah Kiner-Falefa has lived a fascinating baseball existence.

Izzy offers some next-level insight into both his time with the Yankees and Blue Jays, with the kind of stories and lessons that make you understand the value he brings to an organization.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Just when we thought there wasn't anything noteworthy to come out of Fort Myers, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have plenty of thoughts after hearing from Sam Kennedy. What to make of Kennedy saying Alex Bregman didn't want to be with the Red Sox and how to treat when ownership speaks to the media? Then, Masataka Yoshida seems like the forgotten player on the Sox roster and no one knows what exactly his role will be in 2026. And, its not just the starting rotation that has depth and Triston Casas and Kristian Campbell are likely to start the year in Worcester.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Everyone is down in Fort Myers for Spring Training and there's mixed feelings from Gordo, Sammy, and Pat after handing out their offseason grades. What are the biggest issues fans had with their grading system of the Red Sox offseason? Then, if ZIPS projections mean anything, it'll be a tough season for the lineup without a hitter with more than 20 home runs. And, the focus for Craig Breslow was defense, but just how good is it?

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): As you probably know by now, we have classified Red Sox rookie pitcher Payton Tolle as one of the best personalities in baseball.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): There are a few young players in MLB with higher expectations than Roman Anthony, who, one year ago, was living life as baseball's top prospect. So, it only made sense for Bradfo to kick off his spring training coverage by sitting down with Anthony to reflect on his wild year, while also taking a deep dive into his new existence. It's always entertaining when these two get together, and this is no exception.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Right before pitchers and catchers report to JetBlue Park, the Red Sox make a big trade to finally fill that void in the infield. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give their thoughts on Caleb Durbin and others being acquired from Milwaukee for Kyle Harrison and David Hamilton among names sent back. Also, Durbin has shown to be versatile so its anyone's guess where he'll be on the infield on Opening Day. And, with the roster seemingly set it stone, the guys evaluate what kind of offseason the Sox had.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): One was a huge deal. One was a somewhat unexpected deal. Nonetheless, the signings of Framber Valdez (Tigers) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (Blue Jays) were interesting enough to elicit plenty of reaction and analysis from Bradfo in this BIB on the Go.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): We are now less than one week away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Fort Myers and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are wondering if a trade is coming anytime soon. Will the Red Sox make a trade for a bat or stick with the roster they've got by holding out for a better option down the road? Then, it could come down to the Sox not being able to make a deal since its so late in the offseason. And, if the Sox don't make another move, they'll have to choose between David Hamilton and Nick Sogard who should start at second base.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): We finally saw some action from the Red Sox, but not the kind Gordo, Sammy, and Pat were hoping for. How big of a deal is it for the Sox to trade away Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin? Then, the guys get into into it with each other about Eugenio Suarez signing with the Reds if the sox should have been more aggressive to get him. And, its becoming more and more likely whoever starts the year at second base will be internal and Kristian Campbell is a polarizing name many haven't paid attention to.
