Sox are going to lose games 0-1, 0-2 all season.
After Bregman, the Red Sox shifted their focus to pitching and Ranger Suárez - but the pursuit of another bat remains ongoing. A look at some changes in that pursuit post-Bregman/Suárez: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/16/s...
With Ranger Suárez signed, the Red Sox can turn back to the pursuit of position players - The Boston Globe
With Alex Bregman gone, the Red Sox don't have a perfect fit for upgrading their infield ahead of next season.

Absolutely maddening.
Per several sources: Red Sox were not particularly close at the end with Bregman. The no-trade clause also was an obstacle.
