Inside The Red Sox
Mets Floated As Blockbuster Trade Destination For Red Sox $90 Million Lefty Slugger…
The fallout of the Boston Red Sox’s deal with star infielder Alex Bregman will last throughout the 2025 season, and potentially longer.
By signing Bregman, the Red Sox alleviated a ton of problems, but also created some new ones. His righty bat should have a huge impact on the lineup, and his infield defense should be an upgrade at either second base or third, but his arrival naturally takes opportunities away from others.
One of the players who could be impacted the most by the Bregman signing is designated hitter Masataka Yoshida. Signed for five years and $90 million to be the Red Sox’s left fielder before the 2023 season, Yoshida hasn’t quite lived up to his billing in the batter’s box, and he played virtually no innings on defense last year.
