Are the Sox worth your time? (Feat. Christian Arcand)

The afternoon drive show at WEEI, Jones and Mego with Arcand, posed the question Wednesday at the top of their show whether or not Red Sox fans should even consider giving the team their attention for the 2024 season. As dreary as the question is... it's fair. So the guys invited producer Christian Arcand, who you can also catch hosting Red Sox Pre-game, to discuss this question in greater detail. Additionally, the guys recap some of the news and highlights out of camp to cap off the first week of Spring Training which included continued stagnation in Montgomery news but another Red Sox pitcher could be facing a payday.
