The Boston Red Sox entered the offseason looking to add some right-handed pop to the middle of the order.<\/p>\n

Boston ended up striking gold by bringing Alex Bregman to town right around the time Spring Training kicked off. The Red Sox\u2019s lineup was lefty-heavy last year thanks in large part to a plethora of injuries. They did some have some talent from the right side of the plate shine, like Tyler O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n

He was acquired by Boston before the 2024 season and he ended up crushing 31 home runs and driving in 61 runs with the Red Sox.<\/p>\n

There was some chatter about the possibility of a reunion with him this past offseason and he talked about the team\u2019s pursuit of him, as transcribed by the Boston Globe’s Peter Abraham and Alex Speier.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very thankful that I signed ahead of my market,\u201d O\u2019Neill said. \u201cObviously myself and a lot of guys were waiting for (Juan) Soto to go, and that was holding up everything. But the Orioles came to me before that. It was a strong offer; it was within our ballpark. They gave me multiple years and I\u2019m really happy with where I\u2019m at.”<\/p>\n

O’Neill noted that the Red Sox were involved early, but the two sides obviously didn’t work out a deal.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill ended up landing a three-year, $49.5 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles. It seems like things worked out for both sides with O\u2019Neill cashing in with a contender and the Red Sox landing Bregman to help balance the lineup.<\/p>\n
