The Pesky Report Ep. 320: Mattception (Feat. Matt Couture)
Jordan and Matt are joined by Belly Up Sports' Matt Couture to talk the Chris Sale trade, some free-agent whiffs and offer under-the-radar trade targets.
This week’s episode features more Boston Red Sox news, as the Chris Sale-for-Vaughn Grissom trade puts the team in an interesting position moving forward.
Jordan Leandre and Matthew Crory are joined by Belly Up Sports’ Matt Couture to discuss the trade, as well as missing out on free agent outfielder Teoscar Hernández and Japanese starter Shōta Imanaga — further limiting free-agent avenues to improve the roster off two last-place finishes.
Needless to say, the gang offered some concern.
