00:00Craig Breslow having a day, gets a contract extension.
00:04His options get picked up through 2030.
00:06Chad Tracy's the manager.
00:07If you're just joining us, that is the Red Sox news today.
00:09Are you convinced that Craig Breslow is the guy who can build the Red Sox a championship roster?
00:14Nope.
00:15And that's the part that doesn't sit right with me about extending this guy through 2030.
00:19And back to that guy Roman Anthony in that video.
00:22If Roman Anthony is not a superstar, where does that leave the Red Sox in the coming years?
00:28What are they building their lineup around in the coming seasons if Roman Anthony is not who they thought he
00:34would be?
00:37If Roman Anthony is Andrew Benintendi, where does that leave the Red Sox?
00:46With a less than subpar offense.
00:50And where do they get the help from?
00:54I don't know.
00:55You're talking about then, because we don't think there's going to be baseball next year, right?
00:59So that means that you're talking about a 36-year-old Wilson Contreras?
01:04That's what I mean.
01:05So play this out.
01:07Between now and 2030, and that doesn't mean he makes it to 2030 as we know,
01:12but between now and 2030, how do they build that lineup?
01:16Who's it built around?
01:18Because in 2028, it's not Wilson Contreras.
01:21In 2029, it's not Wilson Contreras.
01:23Franklin Arias.
01:24It's okay.
01:25I mean, that is an answer.
01:27You know what?
01:28The same way they were going to build it.
01:29Plugging those top prospects in has really paid off over the last few years.
01:32That's been, yes.
01:33Yeah, absolutely.
01:35Listen, we talked a lot about, you know, the team that went on that streak not necessarily
01:41being the team that Craig Breslow built.
01:44Do you want to know their record since both Story and Anthony have come back?
01:48Yes.
01:4910 and 10.
01:50500 ball club.
01:51They were 8 and 8.
01:51Now they're 10 and 10.
01:52By my count, it's been 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 14 of those 20 games, they've scored four runs
02:00or less.
02:01Roman Anthony has now played in 121 Major League games total.
02:04We're approaching a season.
02:08With off days, you know, that could be.
02:10So, you know what his 162 averages are?
02:13He's a 17 home run a year player who knocks in 63 runs and bats 270.
02:19That's a Major League ball player.
02:20Don't get me wrong.
02:22That's a six hitter.
02:22That's an everyday ball player.
02:24That's what I said.
02:26Well, you know what?
02:26Let me compare.
02:27You say Benetendi.
02:28I'm like, that guy's a pretty good player.
02:29Yeah, he's a player.
02:31He's no, he's not a scrub.
02:33I don't know what he's talking to people like on their ass.
02:35You don't live up to the expectations of what you thought Andrew Benetendi was going to
02:38be as a top 10.
02:38He did win his World Series.
02:39Do you want to know what Andrew Benetendi's 162 averages in his career?
02:43Guess how many home runs he averages?
02:4517.
02:4517!
