Red Sox 2025-26 Off Season

[Ilikesports17]

With Bregman unsigned the Red Sox infield is Marcelo Mayer and Trevor Story along with Triston Casas, Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton and Nick Sogard. I dont think Im missing anyone.

I just dont see how you can possibly go into next season without two new opening day infielders. But I just dont see Boston shelling out the money to acquire them.

I think Boston needs two of Bregman, Bichette, Okatami, Marte, Contreras, Suarez, or some other trade target we didnt know was available.

Not every combo in that list makes sense, but all the ones that do are going to cost this team at least 40 million in additional money and if the last few years are a guide, the Sox basically treat the luxury tax like an informal salary cap. I just dont see them blasting 15 mil outside of it.

Im worried the two options here are going to be 1) add one of those bats and leave us short an MLB infielder come opening day. or 2) bring in two of those options but end up shelling out really significant prospect capital to get teams to eat money and keep us right around that tax line.

Thats not even getting to the rotation where Ive just conceded that Sonny Gray is going to be our front line number 2 pitcher Breslow claimed hed get.

Well looks like wee overpaid in terms of prospects to get St Louis to send us some cash along with Contreras. Hopefully that cash allows us to make another splash

Wasn't the whole point of trading Devers for basically nothing to get of his contract and free up spending power?

How is it that every trade is about saving money but they never actually spend the money they save?

I do not think this trade is so bad. We are getting a good defensive 1B with some pop. Nothing wrong with that. Still have other needs but I like this deal.

That won't move the needle.
