Bregman was a lone bright spot on a struggling team when he went down. By the time he was set to return, the Red Sox had turned the season around, and now, they have gone 1...2701Wed, 13 Aug 2025 12:36:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/david-hamiltons-demotion-to-triple-a-should-end-his-time-in-boston-permanently-r2703/The Boston Red Sox executed a series of roster moves prior to their series against the Houston Astros.
