Boston Red Sox Affiliate Recap (June 11) Season Record: 33-30 Worcester had a doubleheader against the Rochester Red Wings that included a makeup game from May 24, but it ended up getting canceled.

Pitchers rarely become better after losing one of the skills that made them successful. For most starters, a steady decline in ground-ball rate is the beginning of a warning sign. Fewer ground balls often lead to more damaging contact, more home runs, and eventually worse results. Yet Ranger Suarez has managed to move in the opposite direction. The defining characteristic of his pitching profile is gradually fading, but the overall package may be more effective than ever.

The Red Sox are looking for that one missing piece, a right-handed batter. Can one player be the difference between getting into the post-season and not? In previous Red Sox World Series years, one added batter may have made all the difference. Will it now? In 1986, the Red Sox got Dave Henderson from the Mariners.

As the Minor League Podcast officially hits 10 episodes, Nick accidentally turns this week's episode into a Woosox session as he talks about their four-game winning streak, along with how guys like Braiden Ward and Tsung-Che Cheng have provided value and appear to have broken out of their May slumps. He also breaks down a few Portland pitchers he really likes in Blake Wehunt, Dalton Rogers, and Hayden Mullins. And of course, he can't ignore the optioning of Brayan Bello.

Boston Red Sox Affiliate Recap (June 10) Season Record: 33-29 Hardly any traffic on the base paths and a terrible first inning led to a loss for Worcester 5-2 against the Red Wings on the road. After serving most of his time in the bullpen, Eduardo Rivera made his second consecutive start for the WooSox and had a rough outing, not even finishing the first inning. Rivera had no location of the strike zone, throwing 17 of his 38 pitches for strikes while walking four batters.

We’re less than two months away from the 2026 trade deadline and, thanks to the underperformance of the Boston Red Sox as a whole, there’s been little indication as to which path Craig Breslow is going to take as the summer market starts to heat up. Truth be told, it would be hard to figure out what Breslow was going to do even if the team wasn’t currently sitting outside the playoff picture with a losing record, despite the overall state of a very bad American League.

Alex and Maddie sit down and recap the recent drama that’s been surrounding the Red Sox. They break down Brayan Bello’s demotion to Triple-A and Craig Breslow’s out-of-touch comments about the situation. They ponder the state of Breslow and Theo Epstein’s relationship. Are they veering towards a friends-to-betrayal-to-enemies-with-benefits type of relationship? Finally, they discuss how ownership (one of John W. Henry, Tom Werner, Sam Kennedy, or Theo Epstein) is reportedly involved with trade talks.
