The free agent market heading into spring training remains deep with talent. Players like Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, Kyle Tucker, and of course, Alex Bregman remain unsigned, waiting patiently for the big payday they’re seeking.
Both Kyle Tucker and Bregman played last season on short term deals. Bregman signed a opt out-laden compact with Boston and Tucker was traded to Chicago in his final year of team control.
While Boston fans will be gritting their teeth in the hopes of a reunion with Bregman, Tucker has subtly emerged as a dark horse option to fill the void currently dominating conversations surrounding the Sox’s batting order.
