The Boston Red Sox made a significant move this week, officially securing infielder Alex Bregman with a three-year deal on Saturday. This acquisition marks a major step in the team’s offseason strategy, but it appears that Boston is not done making transactions just yet.
Speaking at the Red Sox’s spring training site in Fort Myers, Florida, on Saturday, manager Alex Cora hinted at potential future moves, indicating that the organization is still focused on strengthening its roster.
“We discussed victories over the past few years, something we haven’t achieved,” Cora stated. “I believe the front office communicated—we had discussions as an organization at the conclusion of last season and (determined) that we must be more proactive in the offseason and follow through.”
Cora emphasized that while the team has already taken significant steps, the work is far from over.
“Up to now, we’ve performed well,” he said. “We’ve continued on, however. We haven’t finished yet; we’re continuing to enhance the roster, which is the top priority. I believe the guys in the clubhouse get that.”
The addition of Bregman is expected to provide a major boost to the Red Sox’s infield and overall offensive production. A two-time World Series champion and five-time All-Star, Bregman brings both experience and leadership to a team that is eager to return to contention. His ability to hit for power and average, combined with his defensive skills at third base, makes him a key addition to Boston’s lineup.
However, while Bregman’s signing is a big step forward, Cora and the front office recognize that more adjustments are needed to make the team a serious competitor in the upcoming season.
One of the primary concerns still facing the Red Sox is their bullpen, which remains an area of uncertainty. With several key relief pitchers still available in the market, Boston could look to add more depth to solidify its pitching staff.
Another potential area for improvement could be the starting rotation, as the team may still be exploring options to strengthen its pitching depth. Adding another reliable starter could provide stability and reduce pressure on the bullpen.
As the Red Sox move forward in their roster-building efforts, the organization will take the time to evaluate all remaining opportunities before the season begins.
Meanwhile, the team is set to introduce Bregman officially with a press conference on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. ET at Fenway South.
Bregman will be joined by his agent Scott Boras, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, and manager Alex Cora. The press conference will offer further insight into the team’s expectations for Bregman and possibly provide hints about what Boston may do next.
With spring training in full swing, the Red Sox are making it clear that they are committed to competing at a higher level this season. Bregman’s arrival is just one piece of the puzzle, and as Cora suggested, the team is not done yet. Fans can expect more moves and adjustments as Boston looks to bolster its roster and position itself for success in 2025.
