With Opening Day right around the corner, Paul and Tim take one last look into Fort Myers and give the 2014 team a few thumbs up heading into Baltimore to kick things off. But first, we finish up the offseason where we started, with more contract talk.

Was the David Ortiz extension the right move for the Red Sox? What does this mean for Jon Lester? Will he sign a new deal before the season starts? Are the Tigers crazy or are they just reacting to a new player driven market reality with their offer to Max Sherzer and contract extension for Miguel Cabrera?

We break down the Grady Sizemore/Jackie Bradley Jr. competition in center field and look at how the Red Sox offense can overcome the loss of Jacoby Ellsbury in the offseason.

And finally — it’s time to “Play Ball!”

All that and more on this week’s edition of Fireside Chats.

Thanks for listening!
