Walker Buehler Recruits Alex Bregman to Red Sox

Walker Buehler, who recently signed a one-year, $21.05 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, is actively recruiting his friend and free agent infielder Alex Bregman to join the team. Buehler expressed his enthusiasm for Bregman during a virtual press conference, highlighting their long-standing friendship and their recent co-ownership of a racehorse named March of Time, which won a race at Santa Anita Park. Bregman, a two-time World Series champion, could significantly enhance the Red Sox's lineup, currently lacking a right-handed hitter. While he traditionally plays third base, reports suggest Bregman might be amenable to playing second base for Boston, allowing Rafael Devers to remain at third. However, there are indications of internal division within the Red Sox organization regarding the pursuit of Bregman, and rival teams like the Tigers and Blue Jays are also in contention for him. Despite Bregman's potential fit, it's uncertain if the Red Sox have made any formal contract offers yet.
