Alex Bregman would fit in Toronto

Chris Gimenez thinks so.

“These young guys are ready. The Red Sox are in a really good position. I don't think they have to sign Alex Bregman.”

If Boston doesn't re-sign the big free agent this offseason, does he land with another AL East team?

Where will he go?

Several teams, including the Angels, Pirates, White Sox, and Blue Jays, have shown early interest in free-agent third baseman Yoan Moncada, according to sources.

Despite thumb and knee issues, Moncada had a solid 2025 and could contribute even more next season among third basemen.
