The Boston Red Sox left the 2025 Winter Meetings without adding Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman or Ketel Marte to boost their offense as many fans hoped. Bregman and Marte are still on the market, along with some other infield fits, but the Red Sox seemingly remain stuck in their low-spending ways.
Boston's tendency to sign reclamation project or lower-profile players and hope for a breakout is troublesome for a team that always talks big — just re-signing Bregman won't make the Red Sox into a World Series contender. Reuniting with Bregman could be even harder now that Boston lowballed Alonso and forfeited all its leverage.
