The balance of power in the American League just got a shake-up. The Boston Red Sox, a team that has hovered in mediocrity the past few seasons, made a loud statement on Wednesday night, handing out a three-year, $120 million deal to Alex Bregman. The Yankees, who have long benefited from Boston’s lack of high-impact moves, now face a legitimate challenger in the AL East.

Boston didn’t just add a former World Series champion in Bregman—they’ve reshaped their roster with a series of big moves. Garrett Crochet was acquired in a trade, giving them an electric left-handed starter to pair with newly signed Walker Buehler, who arrives fresh off a championship run with the Dodgers.
