Matt, Jordan and Isiah break down the final series of the 2025 Boston Red Sox, as they’ve been eliminated by their archrival New York Yankees in three games of the American League Wild Card Series. The trio doesn’t spend a whole lot of time talking about the series, instead pivoting towards offseason dialogue. Just how obvious are the fixes? Would you trade Ceddanne Rafaela?

Jordan also poses the question of, knowing what we know now, would Red Sox fans have been happier with Nick Pivetta returning in 2025 if it meant keeping Rafael Devers opposed to what potentially may be only one season of Alex Bregman in Boston.

Finally, the group picks their World Series winners before closing out the final episode of the 2025 season.

Jordan, Jack and Brian recap a weekend series with the Yankees that saw the Sox lose two of three.

Later, more lockout talk! Then a little "Tolle or Early" debate before Jordan's caffeine rush kicks in when the trio previews the upcoming series with the Athletics.
