00:00his 2026 Red Sox roster.

00:03Yeah, basically just the starting nine

00:05and the five-man rotation.

00:06Yeah, you didn't do all 20 seconds.

00:08I didn't do a deep...

00:08I have a limited Twitter account.

00:10I don't have, like, the...

00:11I don't pay for it,

00:12so I can't go through the whole thing.

00:13But basically, I went with...

00:14This is what I think is a realistic possibility,

00:19but also, like, some wishful thinking.

00:22You know what I mean?

00:22Like, I think this could happen.

00:24Obviously, there are plenty of other players

00:25I would like to get.

00:26It's really just two additions.

00:27I think this is...

00:28Two additions.

00:28I think this is very realistic.

00:29So, I would have Carlos Nervais back as the catcher.

00:31I think the big swing in free agency for a stick

00:35would be Pete Alonso.

00:36He makes too much sense.

00:37We brought his name up before.

00:38Right-handed bat at first base.

00:40I'm not trusting Tristan Casas.

00:42I'm not running that back for another year.

00:44I'm bringing in Pete Alonso.

00:46Middle-of-the-order bat.

00:47Sock and dingers playing first base.

00:50This we can debate,

00:51but right now, I would start the year

00:52with Marcelo Meyer at second.

00:54I'd bring back Bregman at third.

00:55I'd bring back Story at short.

00:57We can get into the semantics there.

00:59Outfield of Roman Anthony in left.

01:01Sade on Raffaella in center.

01:02Willio Abreu in right.

01:03And then I'll trot back Masutaku Yoshida.

01:05Maybe you find a platoon guy.

01:07I know Ref Snyder's a free agent,

01:08but maybe you have a lefty-righty platoon at DH.

01:10Then Garrett Crochet.

01:12I make a trade for Joe Ryan.

01:14I actually get it done this time.

01:15He's your number two.

01:16Then Baio early.

01:18And then we'll see what happens

01:19with Lucas Giolito's arm and contract.

01:21So either Giolito or probably Toley

01:23as your fifth guy.

01:24I think Giolito should be back.

01:27Yeah, yeah.

01:27I'd take him back.

01:28And I'd imagine now the injury,

01:29he'd probably take their qualifying offer,

01:31or maybe he won't even opt out.

01:33But either way,

01:34if they offer him the qualifying offer,

01:35I bet he takes it.

01:36And it sounds like

01:38when the Red Sox say,

01:40we avoided a disaster,

01:40he wouldn't pitch in October,

01:41we avoided a disaster.

01:42I think he'd be ready for next year,

01:44but that's some guesswork.

01:45But anyway,

01:45the additions are Pete Alonzo.

01:47Alonzo or Schwarber, Keith?

01:49Oh, man.

01:50I say Alonzo.

01:51Yeah, probably Alonzo.

01:53And Schwarber in a vacuum is better.

01:55And I loved Schwarber when he was here,

01:56and I hated that they didn't bring him back.

01:58Well,

01:58Alonzo's the better fit.

02:01So Alonzo's the better fit.

02:03Defensively and righty power bat.

02:05He's the better fit on this team.

02:06He is.

02:07But if Bregman and Story are both back,

02:09I think you can take in Kyle Schwarber.

02:11Oh, I mean,

02:11there's another left.

02:12I mean,

02:12you can take him no matter what.

02:13I mean,

02:14it's 50 home runs,

02:15and you'll take the guy.

02:15If this were John Henry 20 years ago,

02:17they'd get both.
