Recent developments suggest that free agent Alex Bregman is open to playing second base, which could significantly impact the Boston Red Sox's roster decisions. With Rafael Devers firmly established at third base, Bregman's potential shift would address the team's need for a right-handed bat without disrupting their prospect pool.

Bregman, a Gold Glove winner and a key player for the Houston Astros, brings leadership and experience. His agent, Scott Boras, hinted that this versatility could enhance Bregman's market value, making the Red Sox a viable destination.

While the team has young talent like Kristian Campbell, the difference in experience between a rookie and a seasoned star like Bregman is substantial. If Bregman signs, it could signal the Red Sox's intention to make significant moves this offseason.
