MLB insider says Red Sox are on….

The Boston Red Sox are one of two finalists for two-time World Series champ Alex Bregman, per MLB insider Gleniel Garcia. While the Detroit Tigers are the frontrunner, Garcia thinks the Sox could just as easily swipe Bregman from underneath them.“According to many reports out there it seems like the Sox and Tigers are front runners for Bregman putting the Tigers slightly ahead of Boston. I believe that if the Sox match any offer Detroit makes Bregman will pick Boston. Fenway will be great for his numbers”.

This past season with the Houston Astros, Bregman did pretty well. He hit .260/.315/.453/.768 with 30 doubles, and 26 home runs.

If he came to the Sox, his numbers would probably jump. He would abuse the Green Monster, and probably could get 10-15 more doubles, and maybe a few more home runs.

So what do the Sox need to do to beat out the Tigers? Like Garcia said, just match what the Tigers offer. If the Sox either just add $20 million to whatever the Tigers offer, or match it straight up, Bregman will probably choose Boston. His friend and current Red Sock Walker Buehler has already been recruiting him, so it makes sense.

Hopefully this is what happens, and the Red Sox give Bregman the offer he wants, and the Sox get the right-handed slugger they need.
