00:00big year for the red socks big year been hearing about this team putting it together for too many
00:05years now what level of pressure is on breslow and core for this team to be good
00:13i think it's more on cora than breslow i think it's more on breslow okay why because i think
00:20that this team will go as far as its roster takes it and if there are limitations to this team
00:25or
00:26this team falls flat it'll be because they don't have enough offense the thing we talked about it'll
00:31be because their lineup's not good enough it'll be because they haven't been aggressive enough in
00:35free agency they haven't made good trades they got nothing back in the devers deal other than
00:40the ability to dump the salary i think it'll be because of failures like signing christian
00:45campbell and thinking he was going to be a real factor i think all that stuff is going to come
00:49back to bite them if christian campbell wants a real bad one for him but like the future that you
00:53sold us is here is the pressure but wait a minute was he here to sell you on the future
00:57yes absolutely okay marcello meyers one of yours is a starter in this lineup is your starting second
01:03baseman is it is a pressure for the fans you didn't trade him away yes for the reason we talk
01:09about him
01:10being in the starting lineup is how bad of a look would that have been if you refuse to move
01:14him and
01:15then didn't play him yeah there might be some some uh stuff there between he and the manager too
01:21because it doesn't feel like the manager really wanted to play him or feel like he's an everyday
01:23player i think what happens in the clubhouse this year will be a major part will they have the
01:28leadership they had a year ago where alex bregman could put his arm around roman anthony who's made
01:33it clear even since leaving the wbc i'm going to miss bregman he's impacted me more than any other
01:38player in the big leagues if you have guys like him that start to struggle or it just feels like
01:42this
01:42team doesn't have the veteran leadership required people are going to look back to that bregman signing
01:46and them not being able to get the job done them think he was in their pocket the entire
01:50offseason and the fact that they waited him out and they missed out on katel marty those are the
01:55things that people are going to look at in terms of the offense i will say for breslow this whole
01:59pitching infrastructure he went out of his way to sign a guy like ranger suarez and sunny gray that
02:03a lot of people didn't associate those kind of pitchers with him before we thought it was power
02:08you want these big extension arms ranger suarez and sunny gray aren't that so they better come in here
02:12and be able to play that role and give you a top five rotation because that's what changed life for
02:17you
02:17after rafael devers it wasn't the red socks offense and anthony was able to make up a lot of what
02:21devers was doing but that pitching staff bullpen and rotation carried you all the way
02:26you
02:29you
