COULD A'S LAND DURAN?: Why the A’s and Red Sox Should Pick Up the Phone

This crossover episode is a full-course meal for baseball fans who love a good “what if.” Booney of Locked On A’s and Gabby of Locked On Red Sox explore the fascinating trade idea involving Jarren Duran heading west in exchange for Luis Severino, Braden Nett, and J.J. Bleday. The two break down the logic, the risk, and the emotions behind it — from Boston’s need for arms to the A’s craving for star power. Along the way, they talk about leadership, front-office philosophy, and how fan expectations shape the narrative for both historic Fenway and the A’s still finding their new home identity. Later, the conversation shifts to long-term vision: how the Red Sox’s extension of Roman Anthony could inspire the A’s to lock up their young stars Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson. Then Gabby takes Booney — and listeners — on a journey through Fenway Park, its history, its energy, and its magic. From the Monster to the mayhem, this is a fun, fast-paced episode that bridges East Coast tradition with West Coast ambition. A’s, Red Sox, Locked On A’s, Locked On Red Sox, Jarren Duran, Luis Severino, Brayden Nett, J.J.
