It’s fair to say that the Red Sox fanbase is divided over the Alex Bregman signing. That in and of itself is noteworthy as I honestly can’t remember the last time a major free agent acquisition of an All-Star still in his prime wasn’t met with near universal praise from Sox fans (although maybe the Trevor Story deal fits here, as many correctly saw that it portended the end of the Xander Bogaerts era). But his new teammates certainly sound excited to have Bregman in the fold. (Julian McWilliams, Boston Globe)
Two players in particular, though, might not be as pumped about Bregman’s arrival: Vaughn Grissom and Kristian Campbell, who will now have a tougher time breaking into the lineup if Bregman plays second base, as he is currently expected to do.
