The fellas end with some talk about whether the Red Sox are putting enough of a foot forward to justify holding onto some of their rental pitchers, and some talk about how to improve the overall subpar structure of the MLB offseason.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Pitcher Ryan Sherriff (@kingsherriff) has had plenty of great baseball moments, including pitching in the World Series.

The 33-year-old joined Bradfo to discuss his journey and his decisions, while offering insight into how the feeling of baseball despair can turn into a resurgence with just a few reminders.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Much of the attention this offseason has been paid to the pitching staff. While the Red Sox still have plenty of work to do on their rotation, the Play Tessie guys are wondering when we are going to see the team add the run-producing right-handed bat they so desperately need. After seeing Teoscar Hernandez sign a reasonable contract with the Dodgers, is it worth wondering if the Red Sox are going to secure that bat at all? Shota Imanaga agreed to terms with the Cubs during recording, and the guys give their live reaction to seeing another Red Sox target come off the board.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Bradfo jumps aboard the Play Tessie Express for the first of his weekly rant on the Red Sox, with this week's involving the idea of moving on from closer Kenley Jansen. For a team that is desperate to find some certainty on its roster, opening up a spot on the team - the closer role - once again is a dangerous proposition. Bradfo points out that this was part of the 2023 roster Chaim Bloom got right, so Craig Breslow shouldn't be so quick to forget that lesson.

Well get ready to dive head first into that bin as Craig Breslow misses out on the second biggest name of the offseason, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

But they're not here to sulk, the guys who brought you Who Says No debate the importance of the newest target of the Interest Kings, outfield Teoscar Hernandes. Does his bat complement Fenway? Where could he fit in the lineup? Is his lack of defense more of what Chaim Bloom built in 2023? All that is answered and more on the Jackie Bradley Jr. episode of Play Tessie.
