SPPod #199: It's the Amuse Bouche

Welcome to 2021. The Commissioner is telling teams to prepare to start the season on time. Free agency and the hot stove are both heating up as well. And our episode is setting the table for bigger things to come. Still, we have some interesting moves to analyze, both made by the Red Sox and by other clubs. Another set of international free agents have begun to sign, and Chris and Ian have the run down on them and the first round of non-roster invitees. Additionally, rumors have been flying about a possible trade involving a young outfielder, and the guys share their thoughts before we crack open the mailbag for your questions.    0:00 - Intros, housekeeping, email us and remember to check us out on Patreon   4:00 - Moves that didn't happen   18:00 - Moves that did happen   32:00 - Minor transactions   35:45 - International free agency   41:00 - Benintendi trade rumors   47:15 - Mailbag   Players Mentioned   Alex Verdugo    Jeter Downs    Hunter Renfroe    Martin Perez    Matt Andriese    Daniel Gossett    Eduardo Rodriguez    Garrett Whitlock    Nick Pivetta    Deivy Grullon    Connor Wong    Johnny Pereda    Roldani Baldwin    Austin Rei    Rusney Castillo    Rafael Devers    Christian Vazquez    Xander Bogaerts    Miguel Bleis    Juan Chacon    Andrew Benintendi    Josh Ockimey    Seth Blair    Stephen Gonsalves    Raynel Espinal    Cesar Puello    Caleb Simpson    Kevin McCarthy    Jarren Duran    Eduard Bazardo    Durbin Feltman    Bobby Dalbec    More International Signings here      We also want to thank our in-residence musical guest, The Ludlow Thieves.
