With the New Year comes a new Locked On Red Sox episode with a new positive perspective going into 2023. With all the negativity surrounding the Boston Red Sox, Jake Ignaszewski and NESN's Lauren Willand try to start this year on a positive note and look at what should excite fans going into this next season. Since there are a lot of question marks and what-ifs, Jake and Lauren dive into why that unknown should excite fans because of the possibility that it all works out better than most expected. They then look at what young players could bring a lot of excitement to the clubhouse and who deserves a potential long-term extension. While this team has youth, it also got older but Lauren and Jake explain why the veterans on the team could make a big impact on the success of this team. Then they break down which players could break onto the scene with a quality performance in Spring Training and how the remaining moves the team makes before Opening Day could dictate a lot of different possibilities. Lastly, Jake and Lauren share what excites the audience from Twitter. Follow us on Twitter! @LO_RedSox & @jakekiggy & @lalalalaurrrren Support us by supporting our sponsors!
