We're a week into the offseason and we're talking about how each member of the podcast has dealt with having no Red Sox baseball to watch. Jared vows to not beat the Xander negotiations into the ground every week, but to only bring it up when we have a new piece of news. Well this week we have some news. Apparently John Henry sat down with Xander briefly after the season ended to make it known that Red Sox ownerships wants to keep him in Boston. We break down what this means and what the next negotiation steps could be moving forward. We also talk about how Scott Boras might approach the situation and how much involvement Chaim Bloom might actually have in the final decision. Now, the moment everyone's waiting for... the return of Pat's Picks. Pat is back with his famous segment and this week it's the top five museums in the world! If we determine that Pat plagiarized his list, he has to donate $10K to a charity of our choosing! We're also planning a podcast-wide quintuple date where we're visiting a haunted house during the World Series! See you next week, enjoy!
