Is the Red Sox season already over? Plus, Dodgers make a trade & The Good, The Bad, The Uggla
The Boston Red Sox are 27-31 with May coming to a close and what was a season that started with optimism is beginning to sink into a sour reality as the season pushes past its one-third mark. Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about Boston's floundering 2025 campaign, the issues with roster construction and how manager Alex Cora isn't entirely to blame. Advertisement Can the Red Sox pull out of their early-season hole? Will fortunes change after their first series against the New York Yankees next week? Only time will tell, but it's hard to be optimistic about their chances this season sitting at 4th in the AL East. Meanwhile out west, the Los Angeles Dodgers have made a trade! The guys explain the reasoning behind acquiring Cincinnati Reds reliever Alexis Diaz for prospect Mike Villani. Diaz, who was an All-Star just two seasons ago has regressed significantly, but with the injuries throughout LA's pitching staff, the move made sense for both sides. Closing out the episode, Jake and Jordan dive further into the mechanics of the bullpen phone before closing out the week with a new edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla where pitching injuries reign supreme, the MLB partners with the AUSL & the Miami Marlins have a new baserunning tactic in the minor leagues.

Mets vs. Red Sox drama, early season awards check-in and The Good, The Bad & The Uggla
New York vs. Boston always provides baseball drama. But this week, it wasn't the Yankees & Red Sox doing the honors. The New York Mets, of all teams, brought the sizzle to Fenway in a wild mid-week series that saw Walker Buehler get ejected and Alex Cora breaking the dugout phone…all while Juan Soto continues to slump. Jake and Jordan dive into all the drama from the Boston/New York series this week. Plus, the season nears its one-third mark, the guys give their take on who is in command for awards at the end of the season, and if they think those picks will stay the same come year's end. Can Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani repeat as AL and NL MVPs, or will new entrants challenge them for the respective league crowns? Finally, a new edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla is here to close out the week, featuring Rich Hill, the possibility of baseball going to NBC and the OMG sign making a debut in San Diego, of all places. (2:15) - Red Sox/Mets (25:48) - Awards Check-in (43:22) - Why haven't you homered yet? (51:01) - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla🖥️
