It’s December, and despite the lack of major league player movement Chris and Ian had plenty to discuss. We finally know what the realignment of the minor leagues looks like and which teams that will remain a part of the Red Sox system. There have been some moves to look at as we welcome Hunter Renfroe and Garrett Whitlock to Boston. Chris and Ian take a quick trip through the winter leagues. We released new rankings and go into detail on a few of the guys who made significant moves. And finally, the guys get to your excellent questions. 0:00 - Intros, housekeeping, email us and remember to check us out on Patreon 3:50 - Minor League affiliate shuffle 15:50 - Rule 5 recap 23:00 - Hunter Renfroe signing 29:00 - News from the winter leagues 34:00 - Rankings update 50:00 - Mailbag Players Mentioned We also want to thank our in-residence musical guest, The Ludlow Thieves.

Making his seventh appearance on the podcast, Alex Speier joins Chris and Ian for an enjoyable conversation. The guys discuss his prospect rankings, the challenges of ranking players who have missed a full year of development, and how much weight to put on performance at alternate training sites. And as always, the discussion crosses into so much more. Prior to talking with Alex, Chris and Ian go over the latest offseason news, including a just-announced trade, and pop open the mailbag to answer your questions. 0:00 - Intros, housekeeping, email us and remember to check us out on Patreon Players Mentioned We also want to thank our in-residence musical guest, The Ludlow Thieves.
