Can We Get a #3 Hitter? | 'Play Tessie' Jan 10, 2024

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Much of the attention this offseason has been paid to the pitching staff. While the Red Sox still have plenty of work to do on their rotation, the Play Tessie guys are wondering when we are going to see the team add the run-producing right-handed bat they so desperately need. After seeing Teoscar Hernandez sign a reasonable contract with the Dodgers, is it worth wondering if the Red Sox are going to secure that bat at all? Shota Imanaga agreed to terms with the Cubs during recording, and the guys give their live reaction to seeing another Red Sox target come off the board.

Bradfo's Rant: Be Wary Of Hoping For A Kenley Jansen Trade | 'Play Tessie' Jan 04, 2024

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Bradfo jumps aboard the Play Tessie Express for the first of his weekly rant on the Red Sox, with this week's involving the idea of moving on from closer Kenley Jansen. For a team that is desperate to find some certainty on its roster, opening up a spot on the team - the closer role - once again is a dangerous proposition. Bradfo points out that this was part of the 2023 roster Chaim Bloom got right, so Craig Breslow shouldn't be so quick to forget that lesson.
