Red Sox prospect Taylor Broadway Talks Journey To Baseball, 2023 Goals Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

Taylor Broadway was the player to be named later in the Jake Diekman trade last season that brought Broadway to the Boston Red Sox organization.

NESN's Lauren Willand sits down with Broadway to talk about his journey to baseball -- from not getting an offer after high school, to getting a chance before his freshman year of his college that led to him getting drafted by the Chicago White Sox. The two also discuss the day he learned he was traded to the Red Sox, what he's working on this offseason and his goals for the 2023 season with the Portland Sea Dogs. Broadway shined for Portland last season, being nearly unhittable against opponents.

Red Sox Add Depth By Signing Adam Duvall, Raimel Tapia and Jorge Alfaro Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

As the offseason winds down, the Red Sox continue to add depth to their 2023 roster by signing outfielders Adam Duvall and Raimel Tapia as well as catcher Jorge Alfaro. Duvall's deal is a major league contract while Tapia and Alfaro's are minor league contracts but all these players could make an impact on the major league roster at some point throughout the 2023 season.

NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski begin by breaking down Adam Duvall's deal and looking at what he'll bring to the Red Sox. Jake and Lauren look deep into the statistics on what made him one of the best hitters in the NL and what he was able to do with the Braves during an injury-riddled 2022 season. Then they look at why he could be a good fit in center field due to his past experience and what clubhouse presence he could bring with his experiences playing big moments such as winning a World Series with the Braves in 2021.

Jake and Lauren then shift their attention to Raimel Tapia, which some may remember hit the inside-the-park grand slam with the Blue Jays last season due to Jarren Duran's embarrassing error. They look at what depth Tapia will bring to the major league or minor league team and if this signing could potentially create a Tapia vs Duran Spring Training battle for the fourth or fifth spot in the outfield. Lastly, Jake and Lauren discuss the signing of catcher Jorge Alfaro and look at his success in the Dominican Winter League and explain what he could bring to the team.

Rafael Devers' 10-Year Extension Official; Chaim Bloom's Message To Red Sox Fans Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

The Boston Red Sox made Rafael Devers' 10-year contract extension official, but it was Chaim Bloom who had a message for fans before it started.

NESN's Lauren Willand goes over some important details from Devers' press conference, including Tom Werner showing face, and discusses how John Henry played a role in helping get the deal done. It sounds as if the Red Sox do indeed want to build a team around Devers now that he's locked up for the foreseeable future.

Later, Lauren dives into Chaim Bloom's message to fans, which he had prepared after introductory statements were made at Devers' press conference. Lauren explains why -- even though it did seem heartfelt -- seemed too little too late.

Locked On Red Sox continues with going over who the Red Sox avoided arbitration with and tries to explain why Ryan Brasier remains on this roster.

Lauren concludes the show with the mental health minute with a stick tap to Boston Bruins center David Krejci.

The offseason got a lot worse for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday when they announced Trevor Story underwent surgery on his throwing elbow.

NESN's Lauren Willand looks at the surgery, discusses a potential timeline (the Red Sox did not give an official one) and how this only makes the lineup and middle infield weaker.

Lauren also looks at some of Chaim Bloom's comments after it was announced Story underwent the operation and where the Red Sox go from here.

Pablo Lopez To Red Sox? Evaluating Trade Possibilities With Marlins Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

The Red Sox rumor mill has been swirling over the last month and the one team that keeps coming up is the Miami Marlins. The Marlins have reportedly made four of their starting pitchers available and are interested in trading for Triston Casas if a trade with the Red Sox happens. Miami also has two players that could potentially fill the Red Sox's void at shortstop.

NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski evaluate four players that the Red Sox would possibly have interest in if they made a trade with the Marlins including Pablo Lopez, Edward Cabrera, Jesus Luzardo and Miguel Rojas. Jake and Lauren break down how these players perform during 2022 and what they could bring to the Red Sox if they were acquired.

Jake and Lauren then dive into what players the Marlins could command in a trade and also react to who our Twitter audience would feel comfortable trading. They then discuss what players each of them would be comfortable trading for one of these players from the Marlins and who would be their "untouchables."

Lastly, Jake and Lauren touch on the Damar Hamlin situation in football and discuss the importance of taking advantage of every second with your loved ones.

The Boston Red Sox made a move that surely will make fans happy when they agreed to an 11-year deal with Rafael Devers on Wednesday night!

ESPN's Joon Lee joins NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski to talk how the deal came to be -- especially after he wrote the two sides were "galaxies apart" just over two weeks ago -- and if there was any pressure on the Red Sox to get this done ASAP especially given how everything played out with Xander Bogaerts.

Joon also discusses what players Red Sox fans should look out for during the 2023 season, what the starting rotation will look like and where he believes the Red Sox will finish when all is said and done after 162 games.
