As the offseason winds down, the Red Sox continue to add depth to their 2023 roster by signing outfielders Adam Duvall and Raimel Tapia as well as catcher Jorge Alfaro.

Jake and Lauren look deep into the statistics on what made him one of the best hitters in the NL and what he was able to do with the Braves during an injury-riddled 2022 season. Then they look at why he could be a good fit in center field due to his past experience and what clubhouse presence he could bring with his experiences playing big moments such as winning a World Series with the Braves in 2021.Jake and Lauren then shift their attention to Raimel Tapia, which some may remember hit the inside-the-park grand

It sounds as if the Red Sox do indeed want to build a team around Devers now that he's locked up for the foreseeable future.Later, Lauren dives into Chaim Bloom's message to fans, which he had prepared after introductory statements were made at Devers' press conference. Lauren explains why -- even though it did seem heartfelt -- seemed too little too late.Locked On Red Sox continues with going over who the Red Sox avoided arbitration with and tries to explain why Ryan Brasier remains on this roster.Lauren concludes the show with the mental health minute with a stick tap to Boston Bruins center David Krejci.Follow us on Twitter! @LO_RedSox & @jakeiggy & @lalalalaurrrrenS

The Boston Red Sox continued their trend of "what are they doing?!" this week as the abysmal month of December continued.The Red Sox introduced Masataka Yoshida during a press conference at Fenway Park on Thursday that again was overshadowed by negativity.
