The Boston Red Sox are in serious pursuit of Alex Bregman. The team has several spots to fill, and Bregman will enhance their offense along with the other sluggers. Despite Bregman still being a free agent, the competition is high. The third baseman is the biggest free agent available in the market.
The Houston Astros seem to be falling apart with Bregman after Dana Brown’s latest update. The Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers are also in hot pursuit for the slugger. However, the Tigers seem to have a better offer on the table.
Scott Boras plays a crucial role in Alex Bregman’s free agency, and the Red Sox are using Nolan Arenado to their advantage. Boston has expressed interest in Arenado, giving them an advantage over Bregman. The team is looking for a third baseman, and they could be pushing for Arenado to speed up the process with Bregman.
Boras and Bregman will need to make a decision soon before another team drops out of the race. If they sign Arenado, Bregman’s chances of going to Boston will decrease. According to Jon Morosi, Boston had a recent discussion about Arenado.
The Red Sox and Cardinals have had recent communication about Nolan Arenado, source says.

If the trade talks move forward, they could have implications for Alex Bregman's market.
Of note, Cardinals exec Chaim Bloom has close knowledge of Boston's prospects.
Red Sox Fail To Sign Randal Grichuk Amid Free Agency
Boston was in pursuit of free agent Randal Grichuk. The team was keen on bringing in the outfielder to bolster their starting rotation. However, they failed to act fast, and the Arizona Diamondbacks took a leap to acquire Grichuk.
Grichuk signed a $5 million one-year deal with the Diamondbacks. The slugger could have been a decent fit for the team and also less on their pocket. Boston has a few loopholes to fill. Acquiring Bregman will be a huge boost for the team.

For now, the Red Sox will try to lure Bregman by negotiating for Arenado. They could call it a day if they fail and enter spring training with Arenado. On the other hand, Pete Alonso’s disappointing free agency continues as things fall apart with the Mets.
