Luis Tiant: Red Sox Legend Missing from the Hall of Fame

Why isn’t Luis Tiant in the Baseball Hall of Fame? His son Dan Tiant joins the show to share powerful stories about his father's legendary career, his family's emotional immigration journey, and what it meant for Luis to carry the hopes of Boston in the 1975 World Series. Luis Tiant’s father once threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park after escaping Cuba, and it brought the entire ballpark to tears. Dan opens up about his father's legacy and the ongoing effort to get him the recognition he deserves in Cooperstown.   Tom and Alex also break down a season that feels like it is splitting in two. With the Rafael Devers trade behind them and the returns of Alex Bregman and Masataka Yoshida on the horizon, the Red Sox are entering a defining stretch against the Reds, Nationals, and Rockies.   Walker Buehler continues to struggle and the rotation has questions everywhere. The guys discuss Buehler’s path forward, Tanner Houck’s shaky rehab appearances in Triple-A, the loss of Kutter Crawford, and whether trading Quinn Priester was the right call.   All of that and more on 310 To Left, presented by your New England Ford Dealers and hosted by Tom Caron and Alex Speier.
