The Red Sox appear to be playing the waiting game<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"MLB<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two-time World Series champion Alex Bregman is sitting and waiting on the free agent market.<\/p>\n

The Boston Red Sox seem fine with that.<\/p>\n

Bregman is ready to move on from the Houston Astros after spending all nine of his MLB seasons with the franchise. He\u2019s looking to cash in big on free agency, with reports suggesting the 30-year-old third baseman is looking for a contract in the range of six years and $200 million.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox have been linked to Bregman before the offseason even began \u2014 Alex Cora is a big advocate for Bregman \u2014 but that might not be a price they are willing to pay for a two-time All-Star who clearly is not in his prime anymore.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal provided an update Monday regarding where the Red Sox stand with Bregman and it appears they are content with playing the waiting game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe what\u2019s happening is that the Red Sox are simply saying, \u2018We don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to Toronto, we don\u2019t think Detroit is going to sign him, so we\u2019re gonna take our chances that no one else will (sign him), and we are going to\u00a0leverage this and negotiate as hard as possible,’\u201d Rosenthal said on \u201cFoul Territory\u201d as transcribed by 98.5 The Sports Hub\u2019s Ty Anderson. \u201cThe problem is, they still might not get Bregman and we\u2019re not exactly sure whether or not the front office wants to commit to Bregman.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Cora seems ready to commit to Bregman, though. The two spent time together during Cora\u2019s lone season as Houston\u2019s bench coach.<\/p>\n

Bregman\u2019s reported willingness to move from third base to second could make him a better fit for the Red Sox with a franchise cornerstone in Rafael Devers already at third. And Cora understands what a difference Bregman could make for the Red Sox, even as the team\u2019s second baseman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlex was a Gold Glover at third base and we all know that,\u201d Cora told NESN\u2019s Tom Caron this past weekend at Fenway Fest. \u201cIn 2017, I had a conversation with him. He needed to play third because it was (Carlos) Correa and (Jose) Altuve. I always envisioned Alex as a Gold Glove second baseman. His size, the way he moves \u2014 it felt kind of like, \u2018You will be a second baseman.\u2019 But he has played third base at a high level, so we\u2019ll see where he ends up and we\u2019ll see where he ends up playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
