In the inaugural episode of the MiLB podcast, Nick introduces the show along with the second-ever Spring Breakout game. Highlighting players who performed well in it and those who may have performed well despite what the box score showed. He also discusses the organization's great pitching depth before talking about players that he's excited about entering the 2026 season. He then concludes by looking over potential season-opening rosters for the affiliate teams.

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.

We're looking for front-page contributors to write Red Sox content for the 2026 season! If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Red Sox takes, this is the perfect place. While we generally lean into analytics and analysis, we also take a “come as you are” approach to baseball and give writers a lot of leeway to write about the game in a way that interests them. That could manifest in historical pieces, previews, or regular series. It’s a matter of finding your niche in the fandom and carving out a space for it. Right now, our primary need is minor-league coverage and major-league analysis. If this is the kind of baseball talk that interests you, please reach out via email at brock.beauchamp@talksox.com or reply to this article. It is also noteworthy that we pay our content creators. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. If you know someone who might be interested in creating Red Sox content as a side job, please share this with them! View full rumor

Most Popular Post Runner-Up The Red Sox losing Alex Bregman to the Cubs at the eleventh hour angered many fans, including @5GoldGlovesOF,75 with the second-most-popular post of the offseason.

Charlie, please private message me so I can send you this cool 3D wall hanging of Fenway Park! That's all for this winter, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece, and here's to a successful 2026 season for the Red Sox! View full article

Alex and Maddie dive into some surprising names (Mickey Gasper) that have been tearing it up in Grapefruit League action, and some not so surprising like Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela. They move on to their WBC predictions and discuss whether strong showings from Duran and Masataka Yoshida make either more tradable as the season gets underway. They both make their fifth starter predictions and give Payton Tolle and Connelly Early their flowers for strong starts to camp, before making strong cases for why the Red Sox shouldn't trade for Issac Paredes now that Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer are settling into positions.
