Baseball Isn’t Boring

Red Sox CBO Craig Breslow speaks to the Boston media at the GM Meetings about the state of the team, how this year feels compared to past GM meetings, what they aim to accomplish, and more!

Trade talk is running all over the place this time of year, with some of the games top prospects being asked for in exchange for stars that could potentially put a contending club over the top. So, how difficult is it to deal those sort of youngsters for what might be a boost to your postseason odds? Bradfo talks to a flurry of chief decision-makers - Justin Hollander (Mariners), Chris Young (Texas), J.J. Picollo (Royals), Derek Falvey (former of the Twins), Mike Elias (Orioles) and Craig Breslow (Red Sox) - to get the ultimate perspective on one of this offseason's most important topics.

Jon Daniels has lived this life these chief MLB decision makers are about to experience during this week's General Managers' Meetings in Las Vegas. The former Rangers GM was one of the more active front office bosses back in November 2021 as baseball stormed toward a lockout, which is why he's the perfect guest to jump on the podcast. Daniels, now a member of the Rays' front office, joins Bradfo to talk about lessons learned from Tampa Bay's run, what make that organization so unique, and why he decided to move so aggressively before that Dec. 1 jumping off point, signing both Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. There is also a great story about the trade he almost made but didn't, and still regrets.

Bradfo catches up with Super Agent Scott Boras to get his take on MLB today, why it would be foolish for MLB to turn into the NBA, and more!

Speaking at the fundraiser for the 'Pedro Martinez Foundation' - which was celebrating raising more than $10 million over a decade of philanthropy and highlighting the organization’s continued commitment to improving the lives of children and families - Pedro Martinez had some strong words regarding the challenge facing both the players and owners as a potential lockout looms.
