Improving their offense from the right side of the plate remains a "top priority" for the Boston Red Sox, according to MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo.

Cotillo reported that Boston has weighed adding free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman or the St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado.

Every year, there's at least one or two notable free agents who wind up signing for much less than expected thanks to a tepid market. Bregman might earn that unfortunate distinction this offseason.

ESPN's Kiley McDaniel projected in November for the two-time All-Star to get $187 million over six years.
