The baseball 15 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:56.719 season open today of all places, Jump in with us. 16 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.200 I'm delighted to be joined by I've always Brad go 17 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.560 to the Boston Globe Sports page. One of my favorite 18 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.719 writers and columnsts for the Globe, Peter Abraham. Peter, welcome 19 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.519 Tonight's that how are you and thanks. 20 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:09.359 It's a pleasure to be with you. 21 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.040 Yeah, you know, this Red Sox team made some moves late, 22 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.799 you know, after New Year's which are pretty interesting. And 23 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.439 I assume that you have been down there and on 24 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.480 the phone with your sources, and I know the Red 25 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.840 Sox have to go play a couple of exhibition games. 26 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.239 Corus said was quoted on the Globe today saying double 27 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.159 A competition in modey Mexico. Who they playing down there? 28 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.000 Some se my pro team or yeah. 29 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.680 Well, the MLB is put together some international games in 30 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.040 the last few years, and they convinced the Socks to 31 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.079 go to Mexico to play the team in mont Terray. 32 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.680 And the Mexican League is is pretty much double A 33 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.680 slash triple A depending on what team you play. Ye, 34 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.640 and the Socks wanted to do something, you know, get 35 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.560 a couple of games in before they played in Texas, 36 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.120 and this was an opportunity to go to Mexico. It's 37 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.959 it's a pretty quick flight to Dallas from there and 38 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.040 then they'll start the season, so kind of a little 39 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.800 change up rather than staying in Florida for nextra day. 40 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.680 Yeah, no, I get it, but it sounded like some 41 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.240 of the regulars wouldn't even make the trip. I think. 42 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.000 I think the Globe story said that the shortstop wouldn't 43 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.000 even make it make the trip. I'm sure there are 44 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.439 other considerations in terms of guys who are feeling aches 45 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.639 and pains after a month of spring training. Let's talk 46 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.240 about the roster. There's an interesting piece in the Globe today. 47 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.680 I'm not sure if it was yours or or if 48 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.280 you contributed to it. Speculating a little bit on the roster. 49 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.800 It sounds to me like none of the three wonder 50 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.439 kids are likely going to make the major league roster, 51 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.879 at least for opening day. 52 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.360 Yeah, I think there's a chance Christian Campbell could still 53 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.039 make it as a second baseman. They're not quite decided 54 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.520 yet who they're going to have at second. But in 55 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.479 terms of the outfield and shortstop, you know, Marcelo Mayor 56 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.039 or the young shortstop who's eventually going to be the 57 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.120 regular guy. You know, whichever story there, You wouldn't make 58 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.199 any sense to have him be on the major league 59 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.560 team and come off the bench. They want him in 60 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.039 Triple A and Rob and Anthony and Dalfielder, who I 61 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.759 think has got a really bright future. If all three 62 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.759 of the outfielders are healthy, the guys they had back 63 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.680 from last year who all had pretty good seasons. You know, 64 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.479 they don't want Anthony to come off the bench either, 65 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.639 but both of those guys could sort of force their 66 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.360 way into the issue during the season that there's always 67 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.759 injuries that happen or things that happen, and eventually I 68 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.599 think you're going to see those guys in the big leagues, 69 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:26.680 but not to start the season. 70 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.000 So second base looks like Hamilton, I guess, right, at 71 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:30.960 least that's I think. 72 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.199 So, Yeah, he's played pretty well. They like what he 73 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.599 could do in terms of stealing bases, you know, adding 74 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.199 something to the lineup other guys don't have. But that's 75 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.080 still I think that's going to be something they're going 76 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.759 to wait, you know, until the end of spring training 77 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.479 to decide. 78 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.639 Let's talk about pitching, very very important. They have retooled 79 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.560 that staff. I love the pickup of the guy from 80 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.120 the Dodgers and of course the lefty from the White Sox. 81 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.479 I don't know how they pulled that deal off, but 82 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.840 that was a a deal. Was that money big factor 83 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.520 in that deal? The fact this guy was going to 84 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.080 be a free agent and probably not going to stay 85 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:06.759 with the White Sox. 86 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.120 Yeah, well, it was an interesting trade because Garrett Crochet 87 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.680 has two years left before he becomes a free agent, 88 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.079 so the Red Sox would certainly like to sign him 89 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.439 to an extension, but they're not up against a real 90 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.959 deadline in terms of that, and it's just a matter 91 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.240 of the White Sox knowing that they're not going to 92 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.959 be in contention anytime, trading their best player to get 93 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.240 four good young players back. And it was a deal 94 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.399 that the Red Sox had to be convinced made a 95 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.199 lot of sense because they gave up a catcher who 96 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.560 they thought was going to be their catcher of the 97 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.959 future and an outfield to who they had a lot 98 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.680 of high hopes for they had only in fact, he 99 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.879 never played a major league game after he get drafted, 100 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.560 he get traded, and so the Red Sox are taking 101 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.600 a chance. The White Sox took a big chance. But 102 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.920 Crochet is going to be the opening day starter. He 103 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.199 said he wants to stay in Boston. It wouldn't surprise 104 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.680 me if before spring training was over they were announcing extension. 105 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.279 And he's the guy they've been missing for the last year, 106 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.560 the real number one guy at the top of the staff. 107 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:03.680 So you got it. 108 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:03.920 One. 109 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.879 BeO is hurt. Cut a Crow, It's hurt obviously, Tan 110 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.600 and Hawk is fine. And the new guy for the Dodgers, Bueller, 111 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.680 who I think is a really good pitcher, is number three. 112 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.959 And now it looks like the guy they picked up 113 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.399 from the Pirates, as well as the young guy from 114 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.519 Middlebrough who pitched really well for the Braves for a 115 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.519 couple of seasons, a left hander. We may have an 116 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.959 interesting battle for the fourth and fifth spots in the rotation. 117 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.720 Yeah, they've got two spots open and pretty much four 118 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.160 guys buying for those four spots. And that's good because 119 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.240 at this time last year they were really hurting for 120 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.319 starting pitching candidates. And then they have more than you know, 121 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.079 you never have more than you can use. But it's 122 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.879 good that they have some decisions to make. And Richard 123 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.480 fitz who was a guy they acquired from the Yankees 124 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.120 and the alex Erdugo trade. He pitched very well in 125 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.439 September last year in four games, and he's it's even 126 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.800 better in spring training. Sean Newcomb, who's from Middleborough in 127 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.319 the University of Hartford. He's bounced around a lot in 128 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.519 the last few years, but he's been very good in camp. 129 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.519 And they've got Quinn Priester who they are acquired from 130 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.680 the Pirates, and he's been pretty good as well, although 131 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.680 his last outing wasn't so hot. So they're gonna see 132 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.600 at least one more game from all all three of 133 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.639 those guys and then and they'll have a big decision 134 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.240 to make in terms of who's on the team to 135 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:25.800 start the year. 136 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.680 If I were Craig Breslow or my guy would be fits. 137 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.319 I thought he was tremendous last September. He was oh 138 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.319 ended up on and one, as you know, didn't get 139 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.279 a win, but could have easily have been four. And 140 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.439 oh uh and you I think have reported that he's 141 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.240 he's humped up the fastball this spring. Whatever he did 142 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.839 over the winter. Yeah, he's picked up some speed. I 143 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.560 guess I thought it's funny. 144 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.120 Yeah, he's been very good. He's been very good this year. 145 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.680 And he can thank his wife for that, oddly enough, 146 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.959 because she had an internship in Boston and that started 147 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.240 in January, so they both went to January to Boston 148 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.160 in January, found a place to stay, she went to work, 149 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.240 and he went to Fenway Park and started working with 150 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.639 the strength coaches. And the pitching coaches and everybody else 151 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.600 who was there and was doing is throwing at Boston 152 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.920 College's facility, which is indoors, and when he showed up 153 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.399 at spring training he was thrown. Instead of ninety three 154 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.800 ninety four, he was ninety six ninety seven, and that's 155 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.600 made a big difference, and they feel like he's ready 156 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:31.199 to step up. 157 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.079 So of course we always asked the question. In the 158 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.360 in the American League East, he has some good teams, 159 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.319 but every team has their loss. The Yankees have tremendous 160 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:48.199 injury problems right now lost Garrett Cole. I assume that 161 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.160 the Red Sox are not going to be a five 162 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.680 hundred team this year. How many games can the Red 163 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.639 Sox win? Can they get over ninety with this? 164 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:55.920 Well? 165 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.600 I think if they Yeah, I think they could. A 166 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.560 lot of it depends on health. Of course, you know, 167 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.879 the Trevor story hasn't been able to stay on the field. 168 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.800 They need to, you know, to have those three guys 169 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.240 we talked about Crochet and Bueller and Tanner, how all 170 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.600 you know, give them good seasons because the pitching has 171 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.439 really been the issue over the last couple of years. 172 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.160 And I think, you know, you look at last year, 173 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.000 they were fourth in the American League and runs scored. 174 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.120 The issue really was pitching. So it's fair to think 175 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.040 they're going to be another team with a you know, 176 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.079 have a good offense again this year, and it'll come 177 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.279 down to, you know, that them being able to back 178 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:30.959 that up with the pitching, and like we were just 179 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.200 talking about, they have a lot more depth now than 180 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.240 they used to. But they are going to benefit from 181 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.320 the Yankees having a lot of injuries from Toronto kind 182 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.120 of being you know, in a bit of an uproar. 183 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.159 Not being able to sign the big free agents that 184 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.759 they wanted, Baltimore didn't necessarily add to their pitching staff 185 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.519 to the degree everyone thought, so the Red Sox could 186 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.320 be in a pretty good position going into the season. 187 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.639 Of the of the other teams in the American League East, 188 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.000 who do you worry about most other than. 189 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.879 The Red Sox, I think Baltimore because they have so 190 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.440 much good young talent and guys who could really step 191 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.960 up and be All Stars and they could sort of, 192 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.279 you know, out hit their problems with the offense that 193 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:08.720 they have. 194 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.440 And that's a team that's on the rise one way 195 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.639 or another. It's just a question of what year it hits. 196 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.039 They were in the playoffs last year. They're looking for 197 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.679 more this year, and they've got the good guys to 198 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:19.200 back it up. 199 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.679 That's great, Peter, Thank you so much. Everything everyone needs 200 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.240 to know about spring training has just been encapsulated by 201 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.039 you for us in about eight and a half nine minutes. 202 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.639 I just want to say, thanks so much, and we 203 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.840 got to hope this year. Look, I feel they were 204 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.519 eighty one and eighty one with a bad team last year. 205 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.600 They've improved this team. I see them between ninety and 206 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.679 ninety five wins. I know, people, I don't know what 207 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.200 Vegas has them at, but that's what I'm where. I 208 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:46.759 pick them between ninety and ninety five. 209 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.320 Well, they get from eighty one to ninety that that's 210 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.039 a pretty big step if they could do that, for. 211 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.320 Sure, huge yet huge yet, Peter, thank you so much. 212 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.080 Say hi to Shaunessey and the gang and Kevin.

Jolly Baker, 248 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.159 Lenny Clark was your first guest.

He's our producer, David Thompson. And David 256 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.240 and I had wanted to work together for a long time. 257 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.919 David is a public relations for a moment or Shore, 258 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.480 and we waited until I had the opportunity and it 259 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.360 just the timing was right for him as well, And 260 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.519 we had talked about a podcast for a long time 261 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.039 because you know, podcasts are fun. It gives you an 262 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.039 opportunity to step out of the box. And there's not 263 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.080 really a formattle though ours does have a format, but 264 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.480 you know, you have that opportunity to just sort of 265 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.399 do your own thing, and I was sort of, you know, 266 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.120 longing for that after being in a box for so long. 267 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.360 So we came up with Kragan and Company. We started 268 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.519 about a year ago. We wanted it to be Boston centric, 269 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.120 and each week I have a different co host. You 270 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.120 were my co hosts today, and the co host really 271 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.000 sets sort of the tone for each one of the 272 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:10.360 podcasts and that as a result, makes each week different, interesting, fun. 273 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:15.159 Some are are more maybe uh sports centric, Others like 274 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.120 us today we talked about headlines, which was great. You know, 275 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.360 some of them might be a little more entertainment driven. 276 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.120 So each week is a little bit different and certainly 277 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:26.840 a lot of fun. 278 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.879 So the interview which which amazed me today is the 279 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.519 interview that we did that we did today from about 280 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:39.159 noon to one thirty in beautiful studio right at North 281 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.559 Station part of the Boston Garden Complex.

We had a lot 303 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.120 of fun today and as a matter of fact, a 304 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.960 friend of mine who is not the most experienced person 305 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:14.600 with any technic technical uh you know stuff, okay, sort 306 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:19.840 of from the flip phone generation and has a small tablet. 307 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.120 She called me today and said, hey, I already saw it. 308 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.360 It was on. It was posted sometime I guess around 309 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.960 four or five o'clock, and I didn't realize. I knew 310 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.799 you said it was going to be up that quickly. 311 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.120 But I know what it's like to put something together. 312 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.799 And boy, David Thompson must be doing a great job 313 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.000 for you. You got it done. 314 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:38.720 You got it up. 315 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.840 So my listeners all over the country right now, and 316 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.279 I'll mention it again tonight a couple of nights. They can. 317 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.480 They can just go to Carrigan and Company C A 318 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.919 R R I G A N. Karragan not Karragan, Karragan 319 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.919 right company H And I feel there should be a 320 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.120 song there of some sort. But that's okay, see a 321 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.519 double r ig. You got it, Okay, that's what I 322 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.639 was thinking about. But people can watch it and they 323 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.399 can comment on it and give it a like whatever. 324 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.559 And for those of you who listen to me in 325 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.639 the radio and have no idea what I look like, 326 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.279 I am a fairly normal person, a fairly normal hookey person. 327 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.480 You can actually watch. And Kim is a former television 328 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.679 anchor person here in Boston, a beautiful woman who is 329 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.559 equally as smart as she is beautiful, and she's pulling 330 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.600 off something. It is not easy to have a podcast 331 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.279 and to make it work, but you're making it working 332 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.039 on advertisers. A lot of people that have podcasts, but 333 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:45.919 if they don't monetize it, and clearly you are making 334 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.759 this a success not only in terms of the entertainment 335 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:54.279 value but also for sponsors. So that's what well, it's 336 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.519 just like radio TV. It's as simple. 337 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.240 As you know what it's to do. It's the new 338 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.440 generation of all of the broadcasting that you and I 339 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.640 have been involved in for all of these years. This 340 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.640 is the new generation. And that was part of what 341 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.160 Dave and I you know, talked about so much. You 342 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.000 either got to get on board or you're going to 343 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.559 miss it, this digital thing. So we thought, all right, 344 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:18.680 let's do it. But I will tell you Dan a 345 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.799 very quick story. When we said we were going to 346 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.400 do this. Between Dave and I, we have many twenty 347 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.880 somethings in our lives. We have kids, of course, and 348 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.319 so we turned to the twenty somethings and we said, okay, guys, 349 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.880 we're going to do a podcast, and they're all very 350 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.039 friendly and they all sort of looking at each other 351 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:44.680 like what.
