The Red Sox couldn't sign Juan Soto in MLB free agency, so what's next? Maybe Alex Bregman.
The Red Sox reportedly had interest in Soto, but the superstar outfielded has agreed to sign a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets,Bregman would be a great upgrade for the Red Sox. They need to add a dependable right-handed hitter to a lefty-heavy lineup, and the Houston Astros third baseman has been one of the best players at his position for many years.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora was the Astros' bench coach in 2017 when Houston won the World Series. Bregman was one of that team's best players, so Cora is pretty familiar with his abilities. "He's a player that's been on winning teams his whole career. Good defender. Offensively he's really good. He's a guy that a lot of people are talking about, and I do believe he can impact a big league team, a championship-caliber team. He's that type of player.’’
" is our #1 priority and I think that we're going to do everything in our power for him to put that Astros uniform on and never again put another uniform on."One potential issue with adding Bregman is where he would play in Boston. Bregman has been a third baseman throughout his Astros career, but the Red Sox already have Rafael Devers in that spot.
