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.
