When you have a player who just expects [to be in the postseason], this is what it\u2019s all about\u2026To have a guy like Breggy, who\u2019s literally been [to the playoffs] every single year, doesn\u2019t know any other way, that\u2019s the mindset that we need to have,\u201d Kennedy said (via Alex Speier).<\/p>\n<p>This is a big statement for how the Sox will handle Bregman\u2019s free agency. The Sox want to be competing every year, and if they can have a guy who\u2019s literally never missed the playoffs leading their team, they need him. Bad.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox superstars weigh in on Alex Bregman&#8217;s free agency: &#8220;Where he ends up, I hope it\u2019s with us&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the Sox start talks right away, so they can get their leader back without any opposition from other teams.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0BOSTON RED SOX\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Three Red Sox that will be up on the trade block this offseason after brutal Wild Card series loss to Yankees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox ace gives high praise to rookie Connelly Early ahead of Wild Card Game Three start: &#8220;Just take the ball and go&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox manager Alex Cora explains reasoning for last-second catcher change for Wild Card game two against Yankees<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This could mean a lot in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":103222,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[238,4050,1574,481,728,114,761,4049,2947,702],"class_list":["post-103220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-alex-bregman","tag-alex-speier","tag-ceddanne-rafaela","tag-garrett-crochet","tag-marcelo-mayer","tag-red-sox","tag-roman-anthony","tag-sam-kennedy","tag-sox","tag-trevor-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red Sox&#039;
