Worst possible new suitor for Bo Bichette complicates Red Sox’s backup plans

This winter's top free agent infielders remain unsigned with seemingly little movement in any of their markets. The Boston Red Sox haven't helped matters — they've checked in on most of the top-tier infield free agent and trade candidates, but seem as indecisive as the rest of the clubs seeking similar reinforcements.

Reportedly, a reunion with Alex Bregman remains Boston's top priority, but a January 1 report from MLB insider Mark Feinsand suggests it's falling behind the Toronto Blue Jays and Arizona Diamondbacks in the race. The Red Sox have a few backup plans in play, but landing them won't be easy, either.
