The Red Sox finally made a move this offseason and signed Joelyz Rodríguez. The Red Sox promised that they were going to spend this offseason and boy did they ever. Many people are saying this is the piece that will put them over the hump in the bullpen and make this club a championship caliber team. Jared tries to think of a Mets fan he can call to get the rundown on the Z man but he comes up short. This leads to the realization that we don't have a trustworthy Red Sox beat writer on our side after Cotillo doesn't answer Jared's call for the 10th straight episode. The application for the Name Redacted Podcast official beat writer is now open effective immediately. Pete joins the show and tries to blame his tardiness on Jake, so we go to the group chat texts to break down what happened. Jared and Tyler get in a debate about who was more deserving of the 2007 World Series MVP: Mike Lowell or Jacoby Ellsbury. It wouldn't be an offseason episode if we didn't touch on some Xander and Raffy talk, so we do exactly that. We also go through Tyler's old tweets to Jared. Enjoy!
