From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Looking back at what almost happened in the baseball world is always a fascinating study, particularly when a slight twist or turn would have changed franchises' histories and fortunes. A perfect example of this was when the Rangers came within an eyelash of trading for Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett 20 years ago, only to watch the duo get dealt to the Red Sox. Former Rangers executives Jon Daniels and Thad Levine join Bradfo to reflect on what happen...
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Its been a rough stretch for the Red Sox, but Gordo, Sammy, and Pat aren't freaking out about who the losses were to. Did Garrett Crochet's rough outing cause any concern while Dustin May provided some confidence? Then, Walker Buehler once again struggled and with the season nearing its end, how much longer can the Sox hope to rely on a turnaround? And, if Buehler loses his rotation spot, guys like Cooper Criswell and Kyle Harrison are waiting in the wings. T...

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): For the first time in a while, Gordo and Sammy react to a series loss from the Red Sox in San Diego against the Padres. Was this past weekend about what the Sox couldn't do or how good San Diego is?

And, Alex Cora gave a rather odd answer for keeping in Giolito seemingly longer than he should while David Hamilton might nee...

How happy should Red Sox fans be with the supposed future of the ballclub signing for an additional eight years of service? Also, this deal was signed well before Anthony hits the prime of his career which is something clearly John Henry and the front office learned. And, fans can stomach a loss after se...

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): In a stunning change after a subpar trade deadline, the Red Sox came home swept the Houston Astros in seemingly convincing fashion. With the Sox now in the top Wild Card spot, should fans be expecting them to make the playoffs and even win the division? Also, reports of the price the Twins were asking for Joe Ryan should give some confidence that Garrett Crochet will have a reliable second starter behind him. And, Walker Buehler struggled once again and with ...

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Safe to say Gordo, Sammy, and Pat aren't happy with the Red Sox action (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline. How frustrated are the guys with the Sox only grabbing a reliever in Steven Matz and a low-end starter in Dustin May? Also, even without big additions, the Sox are still a capable playoff team if the ball bounces the right way for them. And, Joe Ryan was the big fish the Sox couldn't get, but just like Garrett Crochet, the confidence in Ryan being t...
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): While we await all the big trade deadline moves, it is a good time to reflect on another example of how a major leaguer's journey is rarely a straight line. There are ups. There are downs. And, if you approach things the right way, there are ups again.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Amidst a wild series in Minnesota so far, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all focused on the trade deadline which is now less than 48 hours away. Have the expectations changed because of the high price for controllable pieces?
