Previewing the Sox Season With Ian Cundall. Plus, Lessons From the Super Bowl and Tatum Practices.

Brian opens by trying to figure out if and when Jayson Tatum might play a game this season, and how he will fit into the Celtics’ rotation (0:00), before hitting on some leftover takeaways from the Patriots’ Super Bowl loss and the heavy load Drake Maye carried for the team all season (18:45). Then, Brian chats with Sox Prospects’ Ian Cundall about the Red Sox’s most recent trade that landed them 3B Caleb Durbin, Craig Breslow’s offseason, whether the Red Sox have enough power in their lineup, the beefed-up starting rotation, and more (35:55). Brian and Jamie end with a listener call about the Super Bowl (1:33:55).
