On this episode of The Pesky Report, the trio talks about former Boston Red Sox designated hitter Justin Turner signing a one-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays.
They also discuss the team’s fixation with operating well below its market, including questioning if Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow and co. will even extend an offer to bring back outfielder Adam Duvall.

Last but not least … it’s therapy time. Mid-rant about Red Sox ownership, Jeff Passan broke the news that 2021 National League Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes had been dealt to the Baltimore Orioles for shortstop prospect Joey Ortiz, left-hander DL Hall and the 34th pick in the 2024 draft.
If nothing else, come for that raw reaction, because Jordan and Kevin fly off the handle for a bit!
