Alex Bregman would bring elite postseason pedigree and a proven, steady bat to the Red Sox. Career line of .272/.365/.481 with 209 HRs, 725 RBIs and 43.1 WAR signals immediate production and a veteran presence for Mayer, Rafaela, and Anthony. His leadership could accelerate Boston’s rebuild and recalibrate infield stability if the deal is completed before rivals pounce.

Bregman could opt out of Boston and become a top target for Arizona, offering a veteran right-handed punch, positional flexibility (3B/2B), and leadership to anchor a revamped infield.

Bregman is linked to Toronto as a potential $120 million addition to bolster third base, freeing up Clement at short and addressing a left-side of the infield. While Boston would love to keep him, the article suggests other suitors may lure him away.

Bregman is in his ninth straight postseason with Boston after recovering from a quad strain. He’s hitting .273 with 18 homers and an .821 OPS, his best since 2019. His contract includes an opt-out after each season, with expectations he will test free agency for a longer deal this offseason.

Bregman’s rebound in Boston comes with strong infield defense and steady bat-to-ball results; his late-season form supports a durable playoff contribution.
