Eugenio Suárez’s power might tempt the Boston Red Sox, but is he really the answer at third base? Striking out at an alarming rate and lacking defensive consistency, Suárez’s fit in Boston sparks debate as Craig Breslow hunts for a reliable infielder. Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian examines alternative targets like Nico Hoerner and Isaac Paredes, dissects Suárez’s strengths and weaknesses, and questions whether his home run potential outweighs his defensive liabilities and high strikeout numbers.

The episode also spotlights Manny Ramirez’s Hall of Fame snub. Despite a legendary batting resume, steroid suspicions keep Ramirez outside Cooperstown—raising questions about the voting process, consistency, and baseball’s stance on cheating. Plus, the Red Sox make a quiet roster reshuffle, acquiring catching prospect Nate Baez in a minor trade. Stay tuned for key insights on Boston’s offseason strategy and what it means for the team’s 2026 campaign.
