The Secret Lives of the Red Sox

Week of Winning For Worcester

As the Minor League Podcast officially hits 10 episodes, Nick accidentally turns this week's episode into a Woosox session as he talks about their four game winning streak along with how guys like Braiden Ward and Tsung-Che Cheng have provided value and appear to have broken out of their May slumps. He also breaks down a few Portland pitchers he really likes in Blake Wehunt, Dalton Rogers and Hayden Mullins. And of course, he can't ignore the optioning of Brayan Bello.

The Secret Lives of the Red Sox

Alex and Maddie sit down and recap the recent drama that's been surrounding the Red Sox. They break down Brayan Bello's demotion to Triple-A and Craig Breslow's out-of-touch comments about the situation. They ponder the state of Breslow and Theo Epstein's relationship. Are they veering towards a friends-to-betrayal-to-enemies-with-benefits type of relationship? Finally, they discuss how ownership (one of John W. Henry, Tom Werner, Sam Kennedy, or Theo Epstein) is reportedly involved with trade talks.

Looking Back On Top May Performers In The Red Sox System

This week Nick is back and looking into some of the best performers in the organization for the month of June. Familiar names such as Franklin Arias, Anthony Eyanson and Jake Bennett are talked about while new names like Leighton Finley and Barrett Morgan of the Salem Red Sox are joined with slugger Jack Winnay as players to watch and be excited for after great Mays.

The Good, the Bad, and the Breslow

Alex and Maddie sit down and crack a cold one. They recap the surprising dub over the Guardians and preview the upcoming Orioles' series. They review Roman Anthony and Garrett Crochet's setbacks in their respective injury recoveries. Finally, they dissect Tim Healy's revealing article on Craig Breslow's tenure with the Red Sox.

It's Promotion Season! Looking At The Lastest Red Sox Minor League Transactions

In this week's episode Nick is back and talking about the recent promotions of Enddy Azocar and Luke Heyman along with the potential playing time issues that could begin to occur in Greenville. With Justin Gonzales, Yophery Rodriguez and Isaiah Jackson in the outfield already, where will Azocar get playing time? Likewise, Heyman has several catchers ahead of him, such as Ronny Hernandez, Gerado Rodriguez, and Mason White. On the pitching side, Kyson Witherspoon had what may have been his best professional outing while the Worcester Red Sox struggled against Rochester.
