Brian Abraham

When you cover the minor leagues like we do, it's all about player development, and who better to talk to about that than the guy in charge of that very department for the Red Sox? We were very happy to welcome Red Sox Director of Player Development Brian Abraham back to the show for a great interview, talking about player development plans, how decisions get made throughout the course of the season, and of course, a few key players for the organization in 2023.

The news in this episode was big enough to take up most of the conversation. First, just hours before we recorded, RHP Aaron Wilkerson and 2B Wendell Rijo were dealt to Milwaukee for infielder Aaron Hill and cash. And earlier in the week, Major League Baseball imposed unprecedented penalties on the Red Sox organization for rules violations relating to their acquisition of several international amateur free agents last season. Between those big stories, a draft signings update, and the Top 4 Update, we've got a packed episode!

SoxProspects.com Podcast #8

It’s an existential question, and perhaps an appropriate one as the organization ramps up in the most pivotal offseason in recent memory. First, Chris and Ian recap the Sox representatives’ time at the Premier12 tournament, including a quick diversion into the latest news on Noah Song and his military commitment. It’s also everyone’s favorite time - the deadline to protect players from the Rule 5 Draft! Chris and Ian agree on the likely players - 4 of ‘em - added to the 40-man roster. Finally, after a quick examination of the list of 42 teams that would lose their affiliation under MLB’s radical realignment proposal, the guys got into a topic they’ve been teasing all offseason: the potential trade of Mookie Betts. What teams are potential landing spots? What is a realistic return? All that and more on this episode of the podcast! 6:45 - Premier12 wrap-up 10:50 - A quick tangent on Noah Song and the military 16:15 - Rule 5 protection projections 27:12 - A quick look at minor league free agents, and a 2013 draft post-mortem 31:44 - Follow-up on the radical restructuring proposal 40:35 - A complete analysis of the potential trade of Mookie Betts   Players mentioned on the show: Bobby Dalbec Tanner Houck Noah Song CJ Chatham Eduard Bazardo Marcus Wilson Yoan Aybar Pedro Castellanos Jhonathan Diaz Rusney Castillo Daniel McGrath Jhon Nunez Jantzen Witte Trey Ball Teddy Stankiewicz Kyle Martin Carlos Asuaje Gabe Speier Mauricio Dubon Jeff Driskel Mookie Betts

J.D. Martinez is coming back. And so are Chris and Ian to detail the latest off-season developments. First on tap, the aforementioned non-opt-out of the Red Sox designated hitter.

Continuing on this show, the guys share updates from the Team USA Premier 12 tournament, which features four top ten Sox Prospects.

After the crew's first day(s) out on the back fields, Chris screwed up and deleted the audio from the short podcast we recorded. But don't worry - we'll do it right tomorrow.

The season flew by and the guys get together to put a bow on it. Topics discussed include: is Ranaudo worth the hype, which 2011 pick has the most potential going forward, and where does Xander Bogaerts stack up with other previous Sox prospects.

The quiet winter is over. Spring training kicked off and so did, at last, the hot stove. Chris and Ian broke it all down on a transaction-heavy edition of the Podcast. Mookie won. Eduardo Nunez signed. JD Martinez ... was signing. The guys bode farewell to Ben Taylor and Bryce Brentz. Ian deftly responded to our mailbag question. And Chris closed out the show with a brief chat with one of our Patreon contributors, Brian Morelli from SoxSignatures.com. Listen in!

SPPod #134 - Conspiracy Theories are Real

The hot stove fires have been stoked. Ian and Chris discuss the looming offseason. Topping it off, meet Chaim Bloom. The Red Sox took their time and did their due diligence. Bloom brings a creative mind and a collaborative spirit to the ball club. And his first move highlights a course correction. Along with Bloom, the Sox added new coaches to the big league bench. Chris and Ian pivot to rankings. They focus on the challenge of number three. Including a digression on the physics of baseball travel and manufacture. Working through the new rankings, Ian comments on how Instructs differed from prior years. The lack of games made it a challenge to assess the talented DSL guys in the system. We wrap up with the mailbag, both international and domestic editions.

SPPod #151 - Alex Speier’s on the Podcast (WHAAAAT?)

Technical difficulties be damned (RIP Chris’ laptop), Chris and Ian cobbled together a mid-December Podcast to tuck under your tree. Noah Song’s active military service saga continues without a definitive resolution. We released new rankings and the guys talk about who’s new, who moved and why some guys need to be seen before getting ranked higher. With the Rule 5 Draft completed, and the Sox making picks, the 40-man roster is a little fuller. Chris and Ian talk about the new guys in the system, as well as the most recent signings. Before cracking open the mailbag, they talk through some of the trade rumors. Finally, they wrap up with a quick discussion of the departure of Brian Bannister and how that affects the coaching staff and system.  Listen in! 0:00 – Intros, housekeeping, email us and remember to check us out on Patreon. 4:40 – Noah Song’s military service 9:45 – Rankings updates 15:10 – 40-man roster updates 18:30 – Rule 5 Draft roundup 34:15 – Red Sox system transactions 46:00 – Trade rumors 57:00 - Mailbag  Players mentioned in the show  Noah Song Chih-Jung Liu Yoan Aybar Luis Perales Kutter Crawford Nathanael Cruz Bobby Dalbec CJ Chatham Marcus Wilson Eduard Bazardo Kyle Hart Josh Rutledge Miguel Gonzalez Jonathan Arauz Javier Guerra Brock Holt Marco Hernandez Tzu-Wei Lin Raynel Espinal Jose Espada Brian Johnson Denyi Reyes Trevor Kelley Sandy Leon Adenys Bautista Blake Swihart  Josh Osich  Jose Peraza  Martin Perez Mookie Betts Jackie Bradley Jr.  Got something to say?
