The Red Sox reportedly added another notable name Monday, and they might not be done big-game hunting this offseason.
Boston, according to multiple reports, agreed to a deal with two-time All-Star pitcher Walker Buehler. Buehler is coming off an outstanding 2024 run with the Los Angeles Dodgers that netted the 30-year-old the second World Series championship of his career.
Shortly after the Red Sox-Buehler deal was reported, Audacy’s Rob Bradford outlined what could be in store for Boston following its latest marquee move. In doing so, the veteran club insider spotlighted one of the best players still available in free agency.
“Alex Bregman also continues to be a target, with Detroit seemingly representing the club most aggressively trying to sign the infielder,” Bradford wrote.
The Red Sox have been attached to Bregman in consistent rumors since the start of the offseason. The veteran third baseman, who has a big fan in manager Alex Cora, would provide Boston with the impactful right-handed bat the club needs and reportedly is open to playing second base.

That said, signing Bregman wouldn’t be a cheap maneuver for the Red Sox. It’s now on Craig Breslow and the rest of the club’s front office to determine if Bregman is worth the contract he covets.
