About the SoxProspects Podcast
 

Our Podcast is hosted by SoxProspects.com Executive Editor Chris Hatfield (left) and Director of Scouting Ian Cundall (right). We discuss all things Red Sox minor leagues and major leagues, aiming to release a new episode roughly once per week. Some of our regular guests have included Boston Globe Sports Reporter Alex Speier and MLB Pipeline Senior Writer Jim Callis, and members of the Red Sox front office, including former Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom. In the past, numerous players, including Michael Chavis, have also joined as special guests.

The Podcast debuted with Episode #A on March 24, 2009. Our Podcast Archive starts with what we now label as Episode #1, dated June 10, 2009. Unfortunately our first four recorded episodes from March-June 2009 are lost to the world! You can email questions to Chris & Ian for the podcast to podcast@soxprospects.com.

Our intro & outro music is All the Money, used with permission courtesy of The Ludlow Thieves.
