We investigate the lingering free agent questions surrounding the Red Sox. With Alex Bregman still on the market, the guys discuss why he hasn’t yet found a home and what that might mean for the Sox. They reflect on last year's missed opportunity with Jordan Montgomery and ask whether the Sox will pull the trigger on Bregman, especially as they search for a right-handed bat to balance their lineup. The crew also takes a closer look at potential trade talks, including the possibility of a Nolan Arenado trade. Would he fit with the Sox despite his declining numbers? Can his bat bounce back? And what does this mean for Rafael Devers, especially if Arenado were to join the team and push Devers to another position? As the New Year begins, there’s also the issue of the Sox not being one of the seven teams invited to meet with rookie sensation Sasaki. What does it say about the Red Sox that they weren’t included? Turning to pitching, the team explores the new additions of Walker Buehler, Lucas Giolito, and Patrick Sandoval, as well as the return of Garrett Whitlock. With Buehler coming off two Tommy John surgeries, is this a gamble that could pay off? The guys also discuss the bullpen, where the additions of Aroldis Chapman and Justin Wilson should make an impact, but is it enough to stabilize the relief corps? Can Whitlock's return make the difference? As for the lineup, who will be the surprise player to make an impact this year? Could it be new faces like Roman Anthony, Buehler, or even Bregman if he’s signed? The team also gets excited for the changes in the offseason with Fenway Fest! Tune in for all this and more as Tom Caron, Lou Merloni, and Julian McWilliams bring you the first episode of 310 to Left for 2025!
