Fansided\u2019s\u00a0Jake Elman believes that the All-Star could be Alex Bregman. While they already have Max Muncy, he\u2019s 36 years old and in the final year of his contract.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_ub_inpage20\" class=\"adsconex-banner-parallax\" data-ad-placement=\"banner20\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cRather than break the bank for Tucker and bolster their outfield, maybe the Dodgers should instead turn their attention to the infield and set their sights on\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0third baseman Alex Bregman\u2026Although the Dodgers recently picked up Muncy\u2019s $10 million option, he turns 36 in August and is in the final year of his contract. Muncy remains an immensely valuable hitter \u2014 he\u2019s quietly posted 27.2 bWAR, a .842 OPS, and an excellent 15.4% walk rate since becoming a full-time player in 2018 \u2014 and he makes sense for plenty of teams as a stopgap third baseman,\u201d Elman wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<p>This past season, Bregman hit .273\/.360\/.462\/.821 with 28 doubles, 18 home runs, and 62 RBI in 114 games played. Those numbers would surely be pumped up when playing in the super lineup the Dodgers have.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1837672\" data-uid=\"048e9\">\n<div id=\"mgw1837672_048e9\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Plus, another thing Bregman has over Muncy is his defense. Bregman\u2019s a Gold Glove third baseman, and is a Silver Slugger. Overall, he\u2019s just a better player than Muncy and would be an upgrade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\"><\/div>\n<p>Hopefully, the Dodgers realize this and start talks with Bregman\u2019s camp. Otherwise, if they wait even a second too long, the Boston Red Sox will re-sign their leader in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_ub_inpage21\" class=\"adsconex-banner-parallax\" data-ad-placement=\"banner21\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0have a chance now to do one of the hardest things in sports: go for the three-peat.
