00:00I would tell you that my kids, my family, my friends over the years have told me

00:04I'm way too negative, so I'm going to try to emphasize some positive reinforcement,

00:10which includes me saying that for the Red Sox overall, beginning to end,

00:16big picture, direction of the franchise, they're headed in the right direction.

00:21It took a while.

00:22It took too long from Dave Dombrowski to High and Bloom and then to Craig Breslow.

00:26It took way too long to get here, but they're headed in the right way.

00:31Now, don't F it up.

00:35Okay, enough of the happy talk.

00:38Now that it's over, you move on to the next thing.

00:40That's how life works.

00:42Don't F it up.

00:43You're in pretty good shape, and a lot of people have asked me about this in recent days.

00:49Frankly, to an annoying level, particularly on the baseball reporters on this show,

00:53Baseball Hour.

00:54Yeah, Maz, how does the future look?

00:57The future looks pretty good.

00:59Crochet is signed.

01:00He's 25.

01:01Chapman is signed.

01:02He's coming back.

01:03Whitlock is signed.

01:04He's coming back.

01:06Slayton's under team control.

01:07So that's the nuts of your bullpen right there, all basically coming back.

01:12I'm sorry.

01:13I said Crochet.

01:14I should have waited on him.

01:15Crochet, Baio, someone from the tandem of Early and Peyton Toley,

01:22your pitching staff, or at least the start of your rotation, looks okay.

01:27Not bad.

01:28You could still use a front-end starter.

01:31That should be on the wish list during the offseason.

01:34And I would tell you that as far as the lineup is concerned, you signed Roman Anthony.

01:38Alex Bregman's fate is a critical component.

01:41Whether you love the player or not, if he leaves, you're going to have to replace him.

01:45I think he's bluffing with regard to opting out, but let's see.

01:49If he comes back and you add another right-handed bat and one starting pitcher, guess what?

01:55Next spring, we could be talking about winning a World Series.

01:59So it's an important offseason for the Red Sox, as they all are, but some get more important than others.

02:06Don't take your foot off the effing gas.

02:11And that's a message to ownership.

02:13That's a message to management and everybody else over there.

02:16You're heading in the right direction again.

02:18Don't just be one of these teams that wins 88 games and losing in the first round.

02:25If I wanted that, I'd move to Minnesota.
