Bowden: The Boston Red Sox Hope To Extend Alex Bregman Before The Trade Deadline...Or Trade Him

[Matthew Lenz]

It remains unclear whether the Boston Red Sox will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline, but Jim Bowden of The Athletic is reporting that the Boston Red Sox "would like to" extend Alex Bregman or trade him at the deadline.

Bowden goes on to suggest the Seattle Mariners, Detroit Tigers, and Milwaukee Brewers as potential landing spots for the superstar third basemen, if he is dealt.

Through 51 games, he boasts an impressive .938 OPS, fueled by a .385 on-base percentage and a .553 slugging percentage. He has hit 11 home runs and driven in 35 runs, while also scoring 32 runs. He signed a 3-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox in February 2025 with opt outs at the end of each season.

If the Red Sox are in fact buyers, he likes them to target Emmanuel class of the Cleveland Guardians or Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals.
