Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have a chat with Red Sox broadcast analyst Lou Merloni with a little over a week away from the season starting in Cincinnati. How would Lou asses what moves the Sox made and didn't make this offseason? Then, Lou gives his expectations for Roman Anthony and what would qualify as a good season for him. And, the stock that Lou is taking from what we've seen in the World Baseball Classic.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the breaking news that the Red Sox are adding to their bullpen by signing veteran lefty Danny Coulombe. What role will Coulombe have and how does the rest of the bullpen shape up? Then, its time to continue the AL East Outlook series and feature the reigning American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays. How would their offseason of adding Dylan Cease, but losing Bo Bichette be described and how do they stack up with the Sox?

The big story to come from the World Baseball Classic has been the dominance from the Red Sox representations. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat break down Brayan Bello figuring out his pitches and Jarren Duran crushing lefties in a big way. Then, how do the Sox manage the playing time from their surplus of outfield hitters? And, Masataka Yoshida doesn't seem like an everyday player so his pinch hitting skills will be put to the test quite often.

Masataka Yoshida has been on another planet during the World Baseball Classic and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat can't help but notice. Does this success mean anything for what Yoshida could do for the Sox in the 2026 season? Also, it might not be playoff baseball, but the WBC carries quite the energy from the players to the fans. And, we might need to start preparing for life without Romy Gonzalez as he gets another opinion on his shoulder injury.

Our AL East Outlook series continues with Gordo, Sammy, and Pat diving into the big moves made by the Orioles. What kind of grade do the guys give Baltimore for their offseason including signing Pete Alonso? Also, the Orioles' roster is filled with former top prospects like Colton Cowser who need to start proving themselves. And, while the lineup looks better and the starting rotation got upgrades, there may still be holes in the bullpen and frontline pitching.

A name we thought was in the past resurfaced and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are wondering why that is. How believable is it that the Red Sox could still acquire Isaac Paredes from the Astros? Also, Jarren Duran remains the most likely name in a trade, but at this time in Spring Training the value might not be equal. And, a deal would make things awkward with Caleb Durbin already dealt for and Marcelo Mayer likely to be demoted if it happens.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are breathing a sigh of relief that Roman Anthony wasn't injured on his outfield collision, but are noticing two rough starts this spring from Brayan Bello. Is there any nervousness or concern about Bello's production in the starting rotation after his start to spring training? Then, Connelly Early's spring is making the guys rethink who should have that fifth and final rotation spot. And, the near-term solution for Payton Tolle would be as a bullpen arm, but long-term solution is to keep developing him as a starter.

For a second straight year, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are ready to preview the rest of the AL East beginning with the Rays to start the division outlook series. Should Tampa be viewed as the team most likely to finish last in the division? Also, there always seems to be magic in the air when it comes to the unexpected success the Rays have, but that time might be coming to an end. And, there is power in Junior Caminero and the return of Shane McClanahan, but Kevin Cash will have his work cut out for him.
