After two incredible years at LEX 18, I’m heading to Nashville to join the talented team at NewsChannel 5.

Thank you Kentucky for sharing your stories. I cannot being to express my gratitude for you all making it feel like home and having me in your communities.

Can the Red Sox have Billy Haywood run the team?

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

Oh?

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN.

While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

@MikeMonaco_ Oh

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

This. Yes.

The offseason needs are spot on. Absolutely spot on. Can they get all of those guys? Probably not. Joe Ryan? Must. Alonso? Top priority.

[Matt McCarthy @MattMcCarthy985]

The Red Sox met expectations this year by making the playoffs, but the way they lost this series was awful and is worthy of significant criticism. They lack impact hitters, but their poor fundamentals cost them last night's game and ultimately the series.

You learned something about key guys: Duran must go. Abreu is a platoon player and might have to go as well. Bello remains untrustworthy. Meanwhile, Garrett Crochet is a stud, Roman Anthony is a building block everyone in baseball is envious of, and the pitching depth has improved tremendously.

But make no mistake about it, nothing is guaranteed. We felt good about the future after 2021 and they went in the tank for 3 straight years. Do not get complacent. Hold their feet to the fire. We can't let them get away with their approach from 2022-2024.

The Red Sox need a number 2 starter and two middle of the order bats, one of whom plays first base. They have the assets and the money to make this happen.

Top offseason targets: Pete Alonso, Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Joe Ryan

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

I think this further confirms what the Red Sox need to compete beyond the wild card.

-Starting pitching. Again and again. Reliable arms. You won’t have two Crochets but you need a true #2.
-big bat middle of the order. I don’t know if that’ll be Roman. Maybe.

This was progress.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

I didn’t expect to be this big of a Nick Sogard fan.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

Soxtober. We’re back.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

@MikeMonaco_ Sounds like it has been a breeze.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

I love sitting at the gate for flights coming back to Nashville.

It’s like a game of bingo.

This morning, I crossed off someone mentioning that there’s a mural with wings near downtown.

Yup, that is indeed true!

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

@benbranscum Benjamine!!!!

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

Let’s run it back.

I hope.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

Cool. Don’t trade him in two or three years.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

BREAKING: Outfielder Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox are finalizing an eight-year, $130 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal, which is pending a physical, includes a club option and will keep Anthony under team control through 2034.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

So we traded Devers for Dustin May?

BREAKING: Brooks Houck and Joseph Lawson were both found guilty by a jury in the Crystal Rogers murder case on Tuesday afternoon, according to LEX 18 in court.

[Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo]

Craig Breslow and Sam Kennedy will speak to reporters on Zoom at 8 pm ET.

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

Is this worse than the Mookie trade? Mostly because that still stings?

[Austin Pollack @AustinPollackTV]

I’m starting to think I may no longer be a Red Sox fan.
