Nick breaks down the first series for each affiliate while also going into detail on how top pitching prospects Juan Valera, Kyson Witherspoon, and Anthony Eyanson did in their respective debuts. Justin Gonzales also receives praise for being the monster of a player that he is. It concludes with a quick breakdown of the Salem Ridgeyaks first series since their rebrand and how the pitching of Dylan Brown, Christian Foutch, and Devin Futrell makes him wonder if they would be with Greenville if it weren't for the insane depth the Sox have with pitching in the lower levels of their organization.

Rubber match between two underperforming teams, though I suspect the Padres will take a large step back this season. But the Red Sox, I fully expected them to be better than this start.

Finally, they give Wilyer Abreu his much-deserved flowers and end the episode discussing what Carlos Narvaez needs to do to make the new ABS challenge system work in his favor.

I think all of this is correct. I don't care for the Suarez signing much. Don't think it's terrible, also don't think it's a great use of resources.

Man, the AL East is going to be a meat grinder this season.

Alex and Maddie sit down with NESN’s Jahmai Webster to discuss his path to becoming the sideline reporter for the Red Sox, what it was like getting a chance to interview Kobe Bryant as a young journalist, and a lot more stories that led him to where he is today. After the interview, Alex and Maddie give Greg Weissert his flowers and talk through why Jarren Duran is the best DH option for the team in 2026.

Welcome to Talk Sox!

Here's an example of what I'm looking for; as you can see, it's not long, and if you're already on the forums, doesn't require research. https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/forum-friday-opening-day-rosters-prospect-talk-march-madness-brackets-r4297/

How To Install On iPhone or iPad How To Install On Android Device Developing a pure, native app for either Android or iOS is a breathtakingly expensive endeavor, which is why we haven’t done it, despite so many requests over the years. Thankfully, technology has met us halfway, and PWAs (Progressive Web Applications) have reached maturity in the marketplace. What is a PWA? It’s effectively a pseudo-app that works much like a native application but doesn’t require tens of thousands of dollars in development to produce. It creates a single browser instance and maintains it as if it were an application. It’s basically a standalone browser tab, dedicated specifically to Talk Sox. From this app instance, you can receive notifications; the typical browser interface is removed, and the site is presented clearly, using as much screen real estate as possible, all without sacrificing any functionality. The site is faster, more reliable, and offers more mobile functionality than a standard web browser. Additionally, a newer, completely updated Talk Sox is coming later this year, and that will add even more app-like features, making PWA usage even better for all our users. With that said, here’s how you turn Talk Sox into an app on your mobile device. How To “Install” Talk Sox on iPhone or iPad Using Safari First, go to the home page of Talk Sox at https://talksox.com/. 1. Tap on the ellipses (…) at bottom right of screen. 2. Tap “Share” in pop-up menu. 3. Tap “View More”. 4. Tap “Add To Home Screen”. 5. Tap “Add”. That takes you to your home screen on iOS, where you can move the Talk Sox app around, just as you would any other app. Additionally, you can turn on notifications for them. Just go to the following link while logged into the site: https://talksox.com/notifications/options/. How To “Install” Talk Sox on an Android Device Using Chrome First, go to the home page of Talk Sox at https://talksox.com/. 1. Tap on the vertical ellipses (…) at top right of screen. 2.

This season, I'd like to bring more prominence back to the Talk Sox forums. Once a week, I'd like to publish a front-page article focusing on the three best forum threads, giving readers outside the forums a reason to join in and participate. We pay a little for all our front page content, so it's not something you'd do for free. Anyone who is neck-deep in the forums here interested in taking on this project? If you're already on the forums daily, you could crank something like this out in just a few minutes every week.
