A Rare Good Week for the Sox With Chris Cotillo

About this episode

Brian discusses coaching tenures and the Red Sox's recent performance with Chris Cotillo.

Brian opens by comparing Joe Mazzulla’s tenure to other head coaches with a similar track record to see if he is on the hot seat this coming season, before he touches upon the possibility of A.J. Brown becoming a Patriot (0:00). Then, he chats with MassLive’s Chris Cotillo about the Red Sox’s sweep of the Royals, John Henry’s commitment to the team, Jarren Duran’s hot streak, and more (15:50). Brian and Jamie end by discussing the short shelf life for head coaches in professional sports and some video game talk (1:04:40). We want to hear from you!
