However, Craig Breslow has made it known <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6912674\/2025\/12\/22\/red-sox-roster-willson-contreras\/?source=emp_shared_article\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he wants to add<\/a> another bat to the lineup. There are great options available through trade and on the open market.<\/p>\n<p>While Ketel Marte or Bo Bichette would be great additions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/mlb\/news\/mlb-free-agency-landing-spots-kyle-tucker-alex-bregman-bo-bichette-framber-valdez-cody-bellinger\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CBS Sports\u2019 R.J. Anderson<\/a> predicted they would re-sign Alex Bregman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite missing nearly two months on account of a strained quad, Bregman had a strong enough showing with the\u00a0Red Sox\u00a0to opt out of his three-year contract,\u201d Anderson wrote on Tuesday. \u201cHe\u2019s been linked to most of the same teams from last winter \u2014 the Red Sox, naturally, as well as the\u00a0(Chicago) Cubs\u00a0and\u00a0(Detroit) Tigers\u00a0\u2014 and some surprising clubs like the (Toronto) Blue Jays and\u00a0(Arizona) Diamondbacks. Inertia is a most powerful force, making Boston the pick here. Wherever he lands, he\u2019s likely to set off a domino effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bregman was not only a great player for the Red Sox, but he was also a tremendous leader. He has been tabbed as the Red Sox\u2019s top priority all offseason, and the Red Sox still seem like the favorites to land him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>His market has no shortage of suitors at this point, but the Breslow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/redsox\/video\/craig-breslow-discusses-red-sox-outlook-for-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has spoken highly<\/a> of Bregman, leading many to believe Boston\u2019s intentions to bring him back are genuine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had the chance to see up close what Alex can bring to a clubhouse, and what he can bring to the field,\u201d Craig Breslow said on MLB Network on Dec. 10. \u201cHe emerged as a leader, especially among those young players. His impact on our team was huge. We obviously remain engaged in conversations, but how things will go, we\u2019re not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bregman had his best season since his All-Star 2019 season. He posted an .821 OPS after having a .795 OPS over the last five seasons. Before his quad injury, he was hitting .299 and was top-ten in OPS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Red Sox have not made a major splash in free agency yet, but have added key&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378628,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[33557,363,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-378627","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-alex-bregman","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
