Bregman and Bichette remain the most obvious free-agent fits for the Red Sox. Both are really good…and have really unusual offensive profiles that could erode significantly in the latter years of a long-term deal. A closer look: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/08/s...
Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette both appear to be good fits. Which would be better for the Red Sox? - The Boston Globe
Both are righthanded hitters, both have been consistently excellent performers, and the production of both relies on traits that could decay significantly over a long-term contract.
