Brian opens by looking at some of the young superstars around MLB and how the Red Sox can find one of their own, either internally or through an acquisition (0:00). Then, he chats with The Athletic’s Chad Graff about the Patriots as they get set to start training camp next week, how Drake Maye can build on the incredible season he had last year, Christian Gonzalez’s contract situation, how the Pats will fare with their challenging schedule, and more (12:40). Brian and Jamie end with a listener call on the Sox, and also talk about the World Cup and the ESPYs (58:30).
