The Boston Red Sox have one huge ordeal this offseason: re-sign superstar third baseman Alex Bregman.

It seems like it’s already at the top of their list, but fans can be assured after a statement from Sox president Sam Kennedy, who realizes how important Bregman is to the organization.

“There’s a great deal of mutual admiration… I was talking to Alex Bregman’s dad. When you have a player who just expects [to be in the postseason], this is what it’s all about…To have a guy like Breggy, who’s literally been [to the playoffs] every single year, doesn’t know any other way, that’s the mindset that we need to have,” Kennedy said (via Alex Speier).

This is a big statement for how the Sox will handle Bregman’s free agency. The Sox want to be competing every year, and if they can have a guy who’s literally never missed the playoffs leading their team, they need him. Bad.

Bregman brings career numbers of .272/.365/.481/.846 with 209 home runs, 725 RBI, and a career WAR of 43.1. These numbers are great, but the intangibles he brings, such as leadership, are even better.

The Sox are rocking a truly young core going into next season, headlined by names like Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Ceddanne Rafaela, and many more. To have a veteran with multiple championships under his belt would be invaluable to such a young team.

Hopefully the Sox start talks right away, so they can get their leader back without any opposition from other teams.
