Playing nine innings while noting that the Mavericks got more in return in their foolish trade of Luka Doncic than the Red Sox did when they sent Mookie Betts to LA 1

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly still in the running for Astros free-agent Alex Bregman, but don't sound like the most serious threat to sign the third baseman.

Despite his seamless fit in Boston, there is a bit of a catch. Bregman remains unsigned while Scott Boras is trying to flush out the best offer. Boras, known for his hard-nosed business style, always drives a hard bargain. But the Red Sox have found a way to compromise in a way that isn’t truly ideal. Enter Boston’s leverage play: Nolan Arenado.

The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals have reportedly "had recent communication" regarding star third baseman Nolan Arenado, according to Jon Morosi

The trade rumors surrounding St. Louis Cardinals 3B Nolan Arenado had seemingly died down a bit, but a deal with the Boston Red Sox could be back in play.

The Red Sox have made some impactful moves, but until they start spending more they shouldn’t expect to get much credit from a certain segment of the fanbase.

The Boston Red Sox organization currently feels like a house divided. If Boston wants to compete in the AL East in 2025, the front office and manager Alex Cora needs to get on the same page.
