Episode 106: Tear Up The Teardown
Listen now
Description
The Red Sox are 8.5 out of the division at the (almost) end of June and not coincidentally they have an 8.5 percent chance to make the playoffs. That's not good odds. That's bad odds, even. So, in this, the 106th OTM Podcast, Matt Kory and Brendan O'Toole discuss a potential teardown. Who would go, who should go? Should anyone go? Where will they go? Actually, we don't talk about where they'll go but you could! We had enough on our plates going through the roster. Jon Lester will be a free agent. Will they re-sign him? Maybe! Maybe not!

We have the answers (or not) right here at the 106th OTM Podcast!
