Bregman would fill the Red Sox\u2019s need of a right-handed bat, he\u2019d improve the team\u2019s defense tremendously and the 30-year-old has plenty of playoff experience suitable to fill a leadership role. Now, it\u2019s up to Bregman and agent Scott Boras to make a decision.<\/p>\n<section data-analytics-datalayer-category=\"MainBlock: CardWithoutTitle\"><\/section>\n<p>Bregman is rumored to be in search of a multi-year offer and he\u2019s reportedly already turned down a six-year offer to return to the Houston Astros. Yet, despite Houston\u2019s front-office optimism in recent weeks, it seems as though the Red Sox might have an upper hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlex Bregman, who is likely to land with the Red Sox, (Chicago) Cubs or (Detroit) Tigers soon; sources in the Astros organization are skeptical he\u2019ll return to Houston,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Buster Olney reported. \u201cIf he goes to Fenway Park, he could pepper the Green Monster while relearning the nuances of playing in the middle infield. If he goes to Chicago \u2014 likely on a short-term, Cody Bellinger-type deal \u2014 he will have pressure to produce. And if he signs with the Tigers, it would be Detroit\u2019s de facto announcement that with Tarik Skubal two years from free agency, the team\u2019s window to win is now, and the expensive signing of Bregman would be an all-in move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are multiple incentives for Bregman to sign with the Red Sox aside from the Green Monster, which he\u2019s well familiar with. Bregman spent the 2017 season alongside Boston manager Alex Cora during their World Series title run in Houston. Bregman would be an extremely valuable member of the organization, both on and off the field as youngsters and up-and-coming prospects could pick Bregman\u2019s brain amid their early developments. Plus, the potential addition of Bregman could make the Red Sox <em>legitimate<\/em> contenders.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Boston has an improved bullpen through its Justin Wilson and Aroldis Chapman additions and the starting rotation was upgraded by way of Garrett Crochet, Walker Buehler and Patrick Sandoval. With Bregman, a proven winner and respected veteran possibly welcomed to the clubhouse, the Red Sox could soar to new heights and dig themselves out of their postseason drought in 2025.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLB insider Buster Olney offered up an interesting nugget about the Boston Red Sox&#8217;s offseason pursuit of free agent Alex Bregman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":33326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
