## Resource

Ian Cundall is joined by a very special guest, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, to discuss the Red Sox opening day roster and put a bow on spring training. They talk about the fifth starter decision, Payton Tolle's outlook, questions about the bullpen, how outfield playing time will work, Marcelo Mayer's spring and more! After that they wrap up the show by discussing Alex's experience at the WBC and his piece on the Red Sox' Venezuelan players. Got something to say? We love talking about what you want to hear about.
