Red Sox Unlikely to Trade Bregman Before Deadline

The Boston Red Sox, currently holding a Wild Card spot, have welcomed back All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman from a lengthy injury absence and view him as a central figure in their playoff push following the trade of Rafael Devers. Despite ongoing trade rumors and no active extension talks, reports indicate the Red Sox are highly unlikely to trade Bregman before the deadline, though his agent remains open to discussions. The Detroit Tigers, boasting the best record in baseball, remain active buyers seeking upgrades at third base and in the bullpen. While Bregman was initially targeted by Detroit, they now consider him an ideal but improbable acquisition unless Boston’s stance changes. Other potential Tigers targets include Brent Rooker and Ramon Urias, as the team weighs incremental improvements over blockbuster moves. Both the Red Sox and Tigers are focused on roster decisions to strengthen their postseason prospects.
