New reported update on the Red Sox’s plans after the Walker Buehler deal

The Red Sox reportedly added another notable name on Monday, and they might not be done hunting big game this offseason.

According to multiple reports, Boston agreed to a deal with two-time All-Star pitcher Walker Buehler. Buehler is coming off a stellar run with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, which gave the 30-year-old the second World Series title of his career.

Shortly after the Red Sox-Buehler deal was announced, Audacy’s Rob Bradford outlined what Boston could expect following its latest big move. The experienced club insider put the spotlight on one of the best players still available in free agency.

“Alex Bregman continues to be a target, with Detroit appearing to be the club most aggressive in trying to sign the infielder,” Bradford wrote.

The Red Sox have been linked to Bregman in constant 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 is reportedly open to playing second base.

However, signing Bregman wouldn’t be a cheap move for the Red Sox. It’s now up to Craig Breslow and the rest of the club office to determine whether Bregman is worth the contract he covets.
