Could either make sense with the Red Sox?<\/p>\n<p>Infielder Alex Bregman and starting pitcher Corbin Burnes are the biggest names left on the free-agent market. CBS Sports analyst and former MLB executive Jim Bowden kept Boston in the conversation for both players Friday evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Red Sox, Tigers and Blue Jays appear to be the best options for Alex Bregman,\u201d Bowden posted to X Friday. \u201cThe Giants, Blue Jays (and) Red Sox (are the) best possibilities for Burnes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Between the two, Bregman seems infinitely more likely and reasonable to pursue. The addition of two starting pitchers already probably takes them out of serious running for Burnes, who marked the other marquee arm in addition to Max Fried, who signed a long-term deal with the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bregman\u2019s market\u00a0may be dwindling,\u00a0and his fit still makes plenty of sense for the Red Sox.
