Play Tessie - A Red Sox Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Gordo and Sammy react to Pat's "Who Says No" proposal that goes within the division and the Sox finding their right-handed hitter with the Rays' Yandy Diaz. Would Boston and Tampa agree to send Diaz up north and which familiar bullpen arm would be included? Also, the guys question Diaz' fit as a position, but an additional move involving Masataka Yoshida could solve that problem. And, how much better would the Sox lineup against lefties do with Diaz in the mix?

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the Red Sox requesting another meeting with Juan Soto which is by far the biggest news yet between the two sides. How should the Red Sox approach their meeting with Soto and Scott Boras should their request be granted and what are the potential outcomes? Plus, John Henry still hasn't met Soto himself which could be a turn off for the free agent with his words about having a relationship with whatever owner he signs with. And, Pat provides an outlook for how the Red Sox are still in a perfect situation financially to make more big moves such as acquiring a certain slugger in Toronto.
