With Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber off the board, bringing back Bregman after he opted out of the final two years of his three-year deal with Boston back in November felt like a requirement of the Red Sox front office by the fan base, not just a suggestion.

The Red Sox are in need of at least one blockbuster move during the offseason if they are going to make a run at the American League East title. That move means they need to bring back 3rd baseman Alex Bregman.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are looking to target Alex Bregman in free agency, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
