The 2nd Devers Homer was the best. That ball was a foot off the plate and high he still pulled it to right center. Pure power and loved hearing the boo birds coming his way. They don’t boo nobodys!

always bring joy to me to see devers homer against the yanks. this team can slip into the playoffs if they play like this. keep the momentum up and bring that fun energy boys

Breslow needs to stand up to Henry and company and state the case! He took a job nobody wanted so he has nothing to lose here.

What a series! I turned on a live Yankee post game show just to watch their reactions 😂

Tyler Anderson of the Angels is probably the best target for SP. He's not exciting because he doesn't rack up K's, but he was in the Cy Young hunt two years ago and is pitching at a high level again this year for a bad team. Unlike Crochet, he has a history of eating innings. And he likely won't require Roman Anthony in return.

Raffy is absolutely mashing right now! I pray he holds on to this into the second half of the season!

Hello Corbin! Nice video, would love to see a video of great candidates that the Red Sox could trade for before the deadline!

This team has exceeded expectations, finally bringing joy to Red Sox fans and I agree with you it’s time to be buyers and plan to be competitive all year. It’s just crazy that we’re just gonna get better every year with our prospects coming up and it’s time to start adding to it too

I would agree but I can't help but think ownership will look at it as well Casas and Hendrix plus maybe Grissom coming back (maybe even Mata) and say well that's the trade deadline acquisitions.

You havent mention Cora, but lets be honest we are only here because of CORA! What this team is doing with so many young players and with players doing it for the first time in their career is just mind blowing.

They have the day off today. Oakland for three, KC for three. Hopefully they can get to the All Star Game to rest that bullpen. Longer term we have to see what Mata can bring, get Martin back, and Liam Hendricks. I do not think the Sox need to add to the bullpen as much as they need a legit starter. Criswell and Winckowski are solid depth pieces, but cannot go deep enough into games to save the bullpen over the long haul. Adding a legit MLB starter sooner than later will have the biggest impact to the team’s chances. I keep hearing about a temporary short stop, but if I cannot have it all I would prefer they get a right hand bat who can platoon with Yoshida and play corner infield to give Devers and eventually Cases a break as needed. Also would be nice to get a healthy Grissom, and get him into the flow so that down the stretch there are no holes in the line up or defensively.

We wanted a competitive team Corbin and we sure have that ! Oakland is next.

Preface this with love the podcast and listen every day! Three reasons why the Sox aren’t significant buyers before the deadline: 1. Story $27M. 2. Giolito $19M. 3. Sale $10M. Numbers may be off a little bit but there’s $56M in dead money. The starter we need is 11-3 and pitching in Atlanta on the All Star team! But who could have predicted that based on the last4 years. Expect the Sox to pick up a 4 or 5 starter in the final contract year for a 15 - 20 prospect. I think we gotta root for what we got which is a young,fun sometimes frustrating team. Thanks!!

Yup great series again. Still pretty scared about the deadline. But it’s ok. Just go out and get a starter and maybe a right hand hitter.

Corbin I agree with you!! I said when the season started that this team was going to surprise a lot of the big talking heads.They have done that big time!! With all this team has endured while keeping in a position to be better after some injured returned and they did that! This team deserves to be appreciated by the front office and so do the die hard fans who root for and support the team! The glass is half full now get what the team needs and fill it up so it can go forward to a playoff season. The ownership, the fans, anyone associated with this young team should be beaming with pride at the first half of a season plus. So get them a little help and let the team keep flying high they sure earned it!!!

Yeah Corbin your totally right it would be appalling if John Henry overlooks being a buyer before the deadline. If he weighs his decision based on the talent in triple A and don’t take advantage of MLB players who are turn key ready that could end up being drastic. The two needs are to add to the middle of the line up, and to add starting Pitching to the rotation, and add 1/2 good relief Pitchers. ❤

I just felt Yoshida was going to come through. He’s starting to hit the ball well and felt due for a home run. He’s a lefty in Yankee Stadium facing a struggling closer. My gut is not always right, but it fortunately was here. Devers being clutch in Yankee Stadium is as automatic and ho hum as Big Papi hitting a walkoff. A good thing. Rafaella really made me smile this weekend. Career performance from Kutter Crawford. Agreed Boston needs a good 4 or 5 starter and I really do hope Henry invests just a little further in this team. This team has absolutely earned it.

This team is trending in the right direction, But do I have faith in the Redsox owners to step up

Awesome series win over the Yankees!!! Also, I agree!!! If they keep this pace up going into the trade deadline, they should do something to help the team more and not just stand pat. There is no excuse at all to not do anything.

I'd really start looking at Blake Snell.. He's looked good in his recent rehab starts and is about ready. Because of his player option at 30 mil next year,it makes even more sense that Blake will pick it up ensuring that we can get him and not have to give up a ton for him. He's EXACTLY what we need,a front line lefty. Again,his injury is a groin,not his arm. Word has it that hes upset with the giants pertaining to how the injury was handled.

Definitely need to add..but do love that minor leage trade !

Welcome to the rivalry, Ceddanne😎 Also I hope that last Devers home run the pitcher was trying to walk him, and he just smashed a improbably ball

You're spot on. Agreed, make the move Henry and let the team reach their full potential. Just watch the players interact with each other and clearly they believe in themselves. Time for the owners to do the right thing and allow this young, capable team to get to the playoffs.

Been watching baseball more often, and that Ceddanne kid is damn good, i think. Seems nobody is really talking about him much. ✌️

Nicke York ..Wilyer Abreu .. Richard Fitts To Seattle for George Kirby ….? They need to be aggressive…this team is a playoff team

It's been a fun bridge year. I have really enjoyed it but management ain't doin nothin because it's about assets and profitability. Breslow will do stuff on the cheap. I am more worried they trade Jansen, Martin (if he's healthy) and O'Neill. Thanks Corbin.

I've been in the "wait and see" camp, and the team is playing well. They're hungry to get to the postseason. You mentioned how some pitchers are reaching unknown territory with their innings pitched, and that includes all-star Tanner Houck. So, adding to the pitching staff (rotation and bullpen) could be huge. The problem is with John Henry as the owner, I don't know if we should expect any additions to be made. He may already consider Casas returning from injury as the big "deadline" move.

Have been saying it for a very long time Wink should replace Chase as the long relief guy. And go out and seek another SP solution. Chase shouldn't be on this roster, he's just out there throwing batting practice. I'm sure they can find someone in their system or on the street who can give them better innings than Anderson.

tough to nit pick the front office at this point and I understand why the trade was made at the time , but I wish they kept Chris Sale.

It was a good series for the Sox. The first game was amazing, winning in the late innings. The 2nd game was all the Yankees. They hit so much that they were exhausted when it came to the 3rd game. Valdez is a liability on defense. He should be sent down or traded. We need upgrades at shortstop and 2nd base, but they could do that internally with Sogard and Yorke. If they add a pitcher to the rotation, they could put Winchowski in the bullpen.

That first Devers hr was unbelievable, even more than the second. How TF does he hit that opposite field with enough power to clear the fence? Look at his bat angle, the pitch moving, and how the ball was hit, just incredible! I really don't know how it happened....

I agree about Houck. Also, he's already at a career high for innings. It's not such a bad thing he got pulled with the break coming up. I think you can put it in stone that Kutter is a solid number 3. I would rather that they shored up the bullpen first, then the rotation. Bello has to do a good job going forward and that should be banked on. I would not be surprised if Cedanne ended up rookie of the year. Curious to see how Wilyer adapts and how fast. This team has a lot going on. Definitely buy. Casas is going to rake but I'm curious about Grissom too. Still don't know what he will bring. I don't think he can take the job from Hamilton though. But he could be a big spark filling in in the middle later this year.

It was great to see Boston take the series from the Yankees. I agree. Our team should definitely be buyers. Not sure just what help is available out there but its time to tweak things. This is a playoff team especially if they do what they should. I was extremely impressed with Crawford and the way he held the yankees at bay. Bailey Horn looks pretty tough to hit. I liked seeing that. It would be criminal not to add to this team. Well worth the investment. Here's to the Yankee killers Rafaela and Dever's ! Thanks Corbin ! Joe

I still like Valdez. sure he will make an error but, he will bounce back and make a nice play later. Also he gets big hits. Extra inning hits and pinch hits.! I remember his 2 HR game against tigers right after Grissom hit DL. Grissom did nothing at the plate. He could be def replacement late in games? Rafela is my favorite player. Huge hits with lots of rbi's out of 9 hole. How many run has he saved defensively in OF? Also he has played SS when story went down with injury and Reyes got sent down. SOX have their fastest team I've ever seen since being a fan in 1979. Duran, Hamilton, Rafela, Wong can all run. Without that speed the sox are less than a 500 team!

Daaaaaaaa Yankees loooosssee daaaaaaa Yankees loooosssee gotta love that😁 let's go redsox💪💪🔥🔥🔥

Corbin ... I think the Red Sox and MLB need to cut you some slack with regard to showing replays ... I'm enjoying this Red Sox season that much more due to your upbeat, highly respectful, and fair minded daily commentary ... You are not greatly infringing on their copy rights by showing snippets of game action that enhance your telecasts while helping you promote and sell some MLB related merchandise ... Red Sox ownership and MLB are quite profitable and should be appreciative for all your efforts and hard work in promoting their business and entertainment product ...

The Red Sox are absolutely a play off contender for this reason…at 9 games over they can play just .500 base ball the rest of July and August and be in very good shape entering September to make a playoff run..

Hey Corbin I wouldn't put nothing past these owners not adding to this team! ⚾⚾

Cris Sale , Evoldi never mind

In the middle of a hurricane, but when RSR uploads… it just made it better

I know Fitts is still working on another pitch but he still (as far as I’ve seen) looks pretty decent

Yes!!!

I think its a mistake to trade prospects for major leaguers this season. I do think they should be serious suitors for a free agent or two. That doesn’t help this season, but I don’t think you get anxious just because they have the third wild card in early july. I might bring up Mayer and Teel for a cup of coffee right now. If they respond you’re feeling pretty good about things. The Red Sox have good position prospects, but not too many pitchers. This has to change dramatically. The draft needs to swing over to pitching. I would draft based on need. This idea of taking the best player available has a farm system full of short stops. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing if they’re open to switching or learning another position. Casas will be coming back soon. I’m going to leave him at worster as long as it takes to see him mashing. Not bringing him back to suck for a month. Dude, you’re going out on a limb here. What kind of blush color will you be if the Red Sox lose 8 out of the next 12 games and Kansas City moves into that third wild card? You’re young. Emotional. Haven’t got a keen eye yet. If you can trade Masataka and Abreu for a pitcher or two I might get more excited. Move Devers to DH. Bogaerts started as a 3rd baseman for the Sox. Maybe Mayer will do the same. Story will be back possibly if they make the playoffs? You New Englanders need to chill out. I was once a Cape Codder. If this team is still winning 2 out of 3 in August I’d say pour one for me too, but this is what the Red Sox do: get you pumped before the All star break and then go .500 or a hair better or worse the rest of season. This isn’t 2018 or they’d already have 60+ wins. Henry is a shrewd owner. Stop insulting the man. He’s won big and you’ve seen more WS than your grandfather did at your age.

Kikuchi or Fedde needs to be the top targets at the trade deadline. Neither would cost much money, neither would cost much in prospects. If you want to get squirrelly then go after Nate Eovaldi but this team needs 1 more guy in the rotation to give them a chance in the second half

The question is, can a big move win it all? Possibly? I don't know. If you think it legitimately could, then make the move. Go for it. Otherwise you're just spending money that will get you into round 2, instead of losing in round 1. Is it worth it for that much gain in the postseason?

Should buy idk what to though, I don’t think we should break the farm for a skubal but I think we could get really good depth that won’t break the bank

They definitely need to be buyers however they can do that without mortgaging the future. Obviously a starting pitcher is the top priority and then a right handed hitter. Rengefo and Anderson from the angels isn't anything crazy but it would likely help. I'm really hoping ownership won't step in the way. As I've said heading into the final week before the break they are a good team what more can we ask!

The Red Sox definitely need a starter or 2/ This team is so young that everyone has played more than they played before. Everything the Red Sox do for this you will be for 2025. I do not think they will acquire just a rental They may even trade the expiring contracts for future assets

I am not really sure where we would add in terms of offense . I definitely wouldn’t add an outfielder and once Casas comes back we no longer need a first baseman. I would be more than happy if this team just went out and got us another top starter and an above average bull pen arm.

Trevor Bauer would be a really cheap pickup for the pitching staff

I wouldn’t hold my breath for a Triston Casas return?

The one bit of ownage(for whatever reason) I’ll acknowledge is kenley on judge. He just does not see the ball well at all out his hand. Maybe his big strike zone too is ripe for kenley’s success. I can’t explain it. But that last at bat last night I was like ‘wtf I’ve never seen judge look so uncomfortable at the plate’

What happens to Dom Smith when Casas returns? Hate to see him just get released, but unless Casas plays a lot at DH, there won't really be a place for Dom.

Would you ever think about bringing back Wacha?

Corbin, you might want to tone it down regarding John Henry. Have you thought you problems with the MLB not allowing you to show their content might be correlated?

Oh oh Devers is hitting fast balls again. Watch what happens next.

Dude when raffy hit that homer on a ball like 5 feet outside the plate my jaw dropped. I'll be suprised If raffy doesn't win an MVP in his career

I think the analysis here is spot on. But . . . the thing I worry about most is that the way things are shaping up, there may well be more buyers than sellers this July. And most of them will be looking for pitching. With all that competition, how far should the Sox overpay? And what's the impact on the next 5 years? I dunno, maybe I worry too much.

They need to much. They need an everyday 2nd basemen, a 1st baseman, a Power hitting DH maybe a catcher maybe a SS 2 or 3 starting pitchers thats a huge list. You can add at the deadline but you cant rebuild the team

What they should do and will do are two complete different things Last year on July 17 they were 51-44. 9 games back and within the wild card race Bloom should have bought didn’t or was not allowed to and they fell apart the last 2 months - so if ownership does not allow them to spend which is what I fear will happen and cause this team to finish next to last again

I think the Sox need a Jake Peavy trade like in 2013.

Pete Alonso or Brent Rooker

C. Estevez can be had for a couple of prospects.

Sox need to move Jordan up and see if he needs rule 5 protection. They lost Ryan Fernandez to Saint Louis last year and a 1.99 era in the bull pen for 40 innings and it may look worse by the end of the year because he's pitched much much better as the season progressed. I won't post # here because it's an embarrassing loss. Just check it out. The Sox have 60 players in the minors that are eligible for rule 5. Granted not all are good enough to get plucked but if you scout the names too many are. I imagine the upper management had different plans for the second half..now they are between a rock and a hard place. Ah the problems with having all your eggs in the minors basket. Play them, trade them or lose them.

fun fact the sox have sequentially scored 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 this past week. Hopefully that streak ends lol

Who’s for sale

Raf may help us forget Mookie forever but i;m leary of Breslow he's totally a company man i can hear him saying Casas is the addition we need its tantamount to a trade and he would have a point i guess. Getting Henry on board may be a problem they definitely could use another starter but i believe as a whole this team is playoff bound. I don't mean Devers i'm talking about the rookie lol.

The Sox could use Nasty Nate and Nick Lodolo, doesn't matter what bat you get.. Tristan is on the way, I think the offense is going to be just fine..

Full throttle 😄 Henry will sit on his A$$ I hope not but we will see

Anyone else grab an “F* them” shirt?

Where the hell is Casas? Originally they said he would be back for Miami

SWEEP OAKLAND PLS

Hay que conseguir un abridor cabecera relevante y un bate experiencia

Is Casas ever coming back this season?

The red seat is a lie bro. There’s no way Ted Williams hit a ball that far on the fly during the Deadball era with inferior bats and even if he did, that’s still not the furthest home run ever hit a Fenway Park Manny Ramirez hit on on the six lane of the mass pike estimated at the time to be something like 585 feet. He actually hit two minute shots over 550 feet in a one week. That year shattered one of the lights above the monster and the ball is still rising. If he did that in the stat cast era that ball was close to 600 feet and he hit two or three balls on the mass pike in his career, but one was on the southbound lane all the way across the first four lanes onto the six lane, I’m pretty sure Don or cello said that it was estimated at 580 feet 585 feet something like that which would make his home run further than Babe Ruth’s bullshit 575. There’s no way Babe Ruth ever came close to 550 feet never mind 575 feet, I think Babe Ruth hit a ball 475 feet and they just over exaggerated it to build some mythical status around him. The guy was fat and out of shape. He was an alcoholic and he smokes cigars. There’s no way he’s hitting a ball anywhere near 500 feet never mind 575 feet that is bullshit, Manny Ramirez hit the farthest home run in major-league baseball history on the sixth lane of the mass pike. If it wasn’t that one, it was the one that shattered the lightbulb above the monster, while the ball was still rising.

They will sell

The Sox starting pitching is thin, with their top starters at their career-highs in innings pitched. Crochet makes no sense, since the Sox would have to pay a high price and then have to limit HIS innings. Flaherty of the Tigers has had 2 injections in the past 3 weeks for his back... PASS. That leaves middle of the rotation starters like Ty Anderson (Angels), Zach Eflin (Rays), Erick Fedde (ChiSox). Any of this trio can eat some innings, but none of them are going to make the Sox a much better playoff team. So, they should try to buy, but not at the expense of their top 4-5 prospects. So, they may not be able to make a deal. Nick Yorke and Matt Lugo for either of Anderson, Fedde or Eflin is the most I'd offer.

Corbin! Ole pal. This team is literally an Eovaldi or Crochet away from a big run possibly this September and October. The pieces sre falling into place and this team wasn't even fully healthy all season. Casas is still out, Macho missed time, Whitlock was gone early, Giolito didn't even get to throw one pitch on the 2024 regular season, and we lost Trevor Story early on. Imagine if this team was at full strength. I prefer Wink in the pen over starting period. I'm glad Ver-Dookie didn't get the last laugh and is back to reality... Being a bum. Ver-Dookie was, is, and always will be trash. Nice .240 batting average dork. I enjoyed the two victories over the weekend. Nothing was sweeter than choking them on Friday night. Haha.

Stop criticizing Henry and I bet MLB will allow you to use their highlights 🤣

Buy! U cheap bums! BUY!!! U know what’s really sad… the great season that Sale is having! If he was on the Sox….🤔🤔🤔

hey Corbin, nice job. What do you think of this trade Massa and blaze Jordan will you know I hate to pot with pay some of massas contract in return get Nathan Ivaldi then I would make a deal as a rental player for DH Vladi Junior. I don’t think it would take much to get him some low level prospects and dalbec toplay first base
