The Language of Business looks at the reopening of the Red Sox. Not the Boston Red Sox, but first…the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

…And the International League AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox…newly relocated from Pawtucket, Rhode Island to Worcester, Massachusetts, the Worcester Red Sox.

Host Greg Stoller gets the inside scoop from Steve Faucher, General Manager Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod League and Joe Bradlee, VP Baseball Operations and Community Relations, Worcester Red Sox
