The 2017 Atlanta Braves finished third in the National League East with a 72-90 record. The following season, they reversed their record to 90-72 and claimed their first division title in fi...2254Wed, 15 Jan 2025 11:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/should-the-red-sox-extend-the-future-r2253/On Saturday, team CEO/President Sam Kennedy said on NESN that the Red Sox are actively exploring long-term deals with several of their top prospects, along with newly-acquired left-hander Garrett Crochet.

This is a Red Sox team with a lot to talk about, and we’ll be covering some of the more interesting takeaways from the event.
