SPPod #197: The Boston Globe's Alex Speier returns

Making his seventh appearance on the podcast, Alex Speier joins Chris and Ian for an enjoyable conversation. The guys discuss his prospect rankings, the challenges of ranking players who have missed a full year of development, and how much weight to put on performance at alternate training sites. And as always, the discussion crosses into so much more. Prior to talking with Alex, Chris and Ian go over the latest offseason news, including a just-announced trade, and pop open the mailbag to answer your questions. 0:00 - Intros, housekeeping, email us and remember to check us out on Patreon 2:30 - Offseason News 7:45 - Mailbag 26:30 - Alex Speier interview Players Mentioned Michael Gettys Yoan Aybar Christian Koss Denyi Reyes Austin Brice Triston Casas Jeter Downs Bobby Dalbec Bryan Mata Jarren Duran Jay Groome Gilberto Jimenez Tanner Houck Nick Yorke Thaddeus Ward Connor Seabold Rafael Devers Noah Song Aldo Ramirez Chris Murphy Brayan Bello William Cuevas Brendan Cellucci AJ Politi Andrew Benintendi Garin Cecchini We also want to thank our in-residence musical guest, The Ludlow Thieves.
