MLB Trade Rumors: Alex Bregman of the Boston Red Sox guarantees a "winning" outcome after agreeing to a $120 million contract.

 

Alex Bregman's three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox was a significant statement. The All-Star infielder had a message of his own as he was formally introduced to Boston.

Bregman has won two World Series and played for the Houston Astros throughout his entire MLB career. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Bregman's aspirations for championships have only increased since joining the Red Sox, despite the fact that he is currently playing for a different team.


"I'm a successful player. During his first press conference, Bregman declared, "This is a winning organization." Players like those are winning. Here, we have coaches who are successful. 


After spoken with a few of the guys over the last two days, I intend to win here. It is evident to me that this place is unique.

The Red Sox haven't made it to the postseason since 2021, despite winning two World Series since 2013. The Red Sox made an unexpected run to the ALCS in 2021. Boston has since waited for a few young players to break into the major leagues. The Red Sox are a squad that could compete in the American League this season now that Bregman has joined the organization.

Bregman is a seasoned player that the Red Sox, a youthful squad, can rely on. With the Astros, he won the World Series twice, including in 2017 despite a cheating scandal. Houston then regained its lead in 2022. Bregman played a key role in both titles. He is now back with Alex Cora, who worked for the Astros under AJ Hinch.

Bregman's arrival does make things more difficult for top prospect Kristian Campbell, who is anticipated to contribute and join Boston's youthful core of players along with Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer. Campbell is currently theoretically blocked at second base after Bregman moved to with the Red Sox. However, Rafael Devers may switch to a more designated hitter role and Bregman may return to third base if Campbell presses the issue.
