00:00including the boston red sox whose season is effectively over it's very hard to be 12 games
00:05under 500 looking as bad as the red sox do offensively they just can't score runs the
00:12president of the club this week sam kennedy said that the red sox season is embarrassing and
00:17unacceptable uh they already fired their manager alex cora thinking there would be some sort of
00:22turnaround from there but it felt like a strange offseason joe for them and i look i i know that
00:29they're pointing a lot to not signing alex bregman and that's why things fell apart but honestly i
00:33think it's just so much more uh deeper than that and the club's offense is just not built to win
00:39right now i know they thought that but scoring two runs a game isn't going to beat anybody
00:45again you know you've got there's i think a little bit of egos going on uh there in that building
00:52there i think alex cora might have seen the writing on the wall and might have been like this is
00:57not
00:57a team they're not a very experienced there's only a handful of veterans on that team it's one
01:03thing if you're going to fire the manager in philadelphia right and make a change with a team
01:09that has been there and done this before there's a lot of young guys a lot of new guys in
01:15boston that
01:16really haven't quite figured it out to begin with it just felt so odd and usually where there's smoke
01:22there's fire and now boston's going from okay we're going to win the american league east to
01:27now they might be sellers at the deadline craig is that what we're looking at here
01:31not might be will be i mean the team can't play i mean and and not only that what i
01:36mean i like
01:37ranger suarez and he's having a good season but now you know what was the point of all that you're
01:42sitting on 200 million dollars of a pitcher on a losing team uh maybe a role as chapman could be
01:47a chip for them to trade chapman i mean for the last few years once again has been one of
01:52the
01:52very best relievers in major league baseball but you may remember back in 2022 and i know it was a
01:57while ago but chapman was struggling at the end of that season and the yankees decided not to put him
02:02on the playoff roster and chapman essentially saying he doesn't want to go back to new york unless he gets
02:07an apology from brian cashman but i don't know joe that chapman's gonna have to worry about that
02:13because i don't ever remember a scenario where the red sox helped the yankees win the post
02:19postseason or the yankees you know it's not going to happen i i don't think a trade like this would
02:24happen i don't think he has to worry about it yeah first of all it's i'm fairly certain cashman's not
02:31worried about having to apologize so because he would never pull the trigger on it to begin with
02:36anyway the yankees have some issues but it has nothing to do with needing a chapman uh right now or
02:42that kind of drama uh i yeah yankees have some other directions to go but it's nice of him to
02:48bring it up uh but it ain't gonna yankees are not getting help from the red sox you're absolutely
02:54correct yeah even if the trade matches up these two teams rarely rarely make trades and when they
03:01do it's in the off season and it's minor league players or something like that yep all right rangers
03:06red sox let's get to this tonight one of the fascinating things that i keep seeing in the betting
03:11market joe is the fact that somehow with the red sox losing every single night the amount of money
03:17that's got to be made betting against them has got to be number one in baseball this season because
03:21the odds makers still don't make them a huge dog in fact they're pretty much favorites like every
03:27night i don't understand this joe it makes no sense to me i was talking about this on newswire
03:31and once again tonight they're minus 126 how could you possibly back boston watching what they're doing
03:37i no idea i mean and because you got also two teams currently heading in different directions
03:43right i mean boston is they can't hit water if they fell out of a boat and yet the rangers
03:48finally
03:49got a little healthier and now they're starting to hit the ball and yeah now the rangers look like uh
03:55yeah what are they at 500 for the first time i feel like in forever so yeah i i kind
04:01of like that i'm
04:02with you i like the rangers here but sonny gray's had an amazing season thus far i'll give him credit
04:07uh it seems to be he's the only guy that seems to be able to win games when he starts
04:11for the uh for
04:12the red sox so uh lighter's actually been good too so i i kind of still think that you got
04:19two teams
04:20different directions i think texas is pretty good value on the board here tonight
04:24right
04:24so
