Red Sox Pursue Alex Bregman Deal

The Boston Red Sox have shifted their focus to acquiring a right-handed bat, with Alex Bregman emerging as their top target this offseason. Despite significant offseason pitching additions, including Walker Buehler and Aroldis Chapman, the team has struggled to secure a major offensive player, with Bregman still on the market. Buehler, who has a strong friendship with Bregman, is actively recruiting him to join the Red Sox, where manager Alex Cora has also expressed interest in Bregman playing second base. However, Bregman is reportedly seeking a lucrative contract in the $200 million range, raising concerns about the team's willingness to commit such funds. The Red Sox face competition from other teams like the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets, complicating their pursuit of Bregman. As Boston aims to end its playoff drought, acquiring Bregman could be pivotal in revitalizing their roster for the 2025 season.
