Audio from 98.5 The Sports Hub on the Boston Red Sox.
Mazz checks in with a special podcast-only edition of "The Baseball Hour," covering the latest on the Red Sox' off-season and the overall outlook for 2023. It's not looking good.
The biggest topic at the moment: Xander Bogaerts, and the increasing likelihood of his departure from Boston. Has the veteran All-Star shortstop really "severed ties" with the Red Sox? Mazz gives his thoughts on that, plus the Red Sox' overall approach for 2023, as they've already let big-name free agents slip away.
