Alex Bregman is heading to Boston, signing with the Red Sox as a free agent. The move was expected after both sides expressed interest in each other during the offseason.
Bregman joins a Red Sox team led by manager Alex Cora, who he previously played under with the Houston Astros in 2017-2018 before leaving for Detroit. The question now is whether Bregman will opt out of his contract following the 2025 season or if this deal was more about the allure of playing in the playoffs.
The Red Sox are looking to bounce back from a tough postseason run, and Bregman’s arrival could be key. He has been an All-Star and led the Astros to their World Series victory in 2017.
Other notable free agent signings include Kenley Jansen with the San Diego Padres and Nick Pivetta with the Los Angeles Angels. The Red Sox also made moves to bolster their pitching staff, addressing one of the biggest concerns heading into the season.
The Yankees are facing uncertainty, particularly at shortstop, where the future of key player A.J. Hinch is unclear. Will they find a solution, or will this be a long-term problem?
