In the wake of the Boston Red Sox's Alex Bregman loss, fans are not optimistic that the team will make the key offensive addition it needs to be competitive in the American League East. Even the latest Bo Bichette rumors haven't helped matters.
MLB insider Bob Nightengale on January 13 reported that the Red Sox are expected to "aggressively" pursue Bichette after losing out on Bregman. The Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers also remain in the race for his services.
The word "aggressive," in reference to a free agent pursuit, doesn't mean much to Boston fans anymore.
