2022 Winter Meetings: Where Things Stand With Red Sox, Xander Bogaerts; Yankees Beat Out Rival Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

It wouldn't be a Boston Red Sox offseason if they weren't beat out by a team for a free agent they wanted.

NESN's Lauren Willand discusses Tommy Kahnle going to the Yankees despite the Red Sox having a two-year offer on the table for the relief pitcher. While he would have made the bullpen better, there is an injury risk BUT, it's the same old song and dance with the Red Sox being interested and getting beat out.

Lauren also catches us up on the 2022 winter meetings and where things stand with Xander Bogaerts. She discusses talking points from Chaim Bloom and Alex Cora meeting with the media Monday, and just how things haven't seemed to change one bit over the years.

As always, Lauren ends the show with the mental health minute!

Xander Bogaerts Rumors Swirl; Jose Abreu Wanted To Come To Red Sox Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Wednesday featured a slew of rumors regarding Xander Bogaerts, including that he severed ties with the Boston Red Sox.

NESN's Lauren Willand breaks down all the rumors that came from Wednesday from Bogaerts reportedly cutting ties with Boston to his agent, Scott Boras, debunking those to The Boston Globe, noting the All-Star shortstop has not shut the door on any team. Could this just be a negotiation tactic?

Later Lauren rants about why Sam Kennedy's comments about not saying whether the Red Sox would be able to match any external offers to Bogaerts are discouraging and not what fans want to hear.

Aside from Bogaerts talk, Lauren also looks at a report from MLB Network that stated Jose Abreu's number one choice was Boston, but instead chose the Houston Astros.
