Section 10 Podcast Ep. 145: The Update On JD Martinez Is That There Is No Update -- Let's Discuss!
Surprisingly, for there not being a lot of news, we had a lot to talk about this week. There’s so little going on that I had to make up a story about Dallas Braden to blog yesterday, the Red Sox shooting down a trade that would send Jackie Bradley Jr. to the Dodgers for Yasiel Puig, how there’s still a chance that JBJ could be moved in a separate deal, Daniel Bard retiring and reflecting on what could’ve been, which turns into a rant about how much of an asshole Jonathan Papelbon was, and then we get into the seldom talked about scenario of what the Red Sox should do with Hanley Ramirez if they sign JD Martinez.
Down in the DM — When Drew Pomeranz becomes a free agent, how much will art museums factor into where he signs? Would Andrew Benintendi and JD Martinez be the most handsome back-to-back hitters in MLB right now? Where the hell did Jared get that 3D shark lamp? Who would you rather start a team with right now — Chris Sale and Mike Trout, Corey Kluber and Bryce Harper, or Clayton Kershaw and Jose Altuve? Which Red Sox player lost their virginity at the youngest age? What is your favorite bobblehead that you guys have?
Would you rather the Red Sox lose the World Series 10 years in a row or win it once and have the worst record in the MLB the other 9 seasons? What are your best suggestions for Winter Weekend? Would you rather go on a date to Fenway with a chick who doesn’t know what’s going on and doesn’t care, or your boy who doesn’t know what’s going on, but tries to act like he does? If you could only have one Boston sports title in 2018, what team are you picking? If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, whataya got? What’s your worst habit when you’re drunk? Who is your favorite Red Sox player who was on the team for one year or less?
