00:05 >> American League East on a flip side there.
00:08 Some teams wait a little bit too long to hit the reset button.
00:12 You can't be a Red Sox organization and be middle of the road, Craig,
00:16 and that's what they are.
00:17 They're a mediocre franchise and that doesn't work well here.
00:22 What is the plan, do you think, with the Red Sox moving forward?
00:26 >> I don't know, Joe.
00:28 >> Not sure, this is one of those weird ones.
00:31 Good question, don't really have any answer.
00:34 Yeah, I mean, Heim Blum, who was the general manager there,
00:38 I mean, he didn't win as much as they wanted to.
00:40 But when you hire a guy that comes from Tampa Bay,
00:43 then you gotta understand that he's gonna operate differently with that team
00:47 than he would normally.
00:49 So that's not, in his wheelhouse, so I don't really blame Blum necessarily.
00:55 Their farm system's great, they can make some trades now if they want.
00:59 But, I mean, Joe, they signed Lucas G Alito to two years and
01:03 like almost $40 million, maybe that'll work out.
01:05 I'm not really sure that it will.
01:07 They didn't get any of the big names that are out there.
01:10 So to me, they're somewhere in the middle, I guess.
01:12 Like I'm not feeling bad, but I'm not feeling great about them.
01:16 There's still some off season to go.
01:17 I guess that would be what I would tell Red Sox fans, just hang in there and
01:22 wait, but it's not like I look at their team right now and
01:25 think that they're better than the Orioles or better than the Rays.
01:28 Maybe they're where the Yankees are at, that could be fair.
01:30 But I certainly need to have this play out a little bit more to see what their plan
01:35 is, and Craig Breslow I think is gonna do a great job running the organization there.
01:39 But what is that plan?
01:41 Like what has ownership told him?
01:43 Like what are you guys spending now?
01:45 Are you not spending now?
01:46 I'm just not even sure.
