The Boston Red Sox could be in real trouble. They needed clear upgrades in the lineup following the 2025 season, and only adding Willson Contreras won't make them a better team than they were last year.
Red Sox Nation still hopes for a long-term reunion with Alex Bregman, plus the addition of another marquee bat. Hope started to dwindle when Kyle Schwarber resigned with Philly, and then Pete Alonso went to a division rival in the Baltimore Orioles. At least when those two signed, not much had come out about Bregman's market, with fan interest turning fully to bringing him back.
