Well, we wanted to see Red Sox ownership shake things up as we head into spring training, and they delivered. Alex Bregman will be our second baseman in 2025, signed for 3 years and $120m. It was announced yesterday that he will wear number 2 for the Red Sox.
That’s a number that most of us associate with the late, great Jerry Remy, the de facto head of Red Sox Nation and one of the most beloved broadcasters of our time. However, a few other folks have worn it through the years as well. In fact, by accepting this uniform number, Bregman becomes part of the elite TWO SQUAD, and now must answer the call to join his brethren in battle whenever Earth needs defending.
This elite team includes:
Carl Everett.
Xander Bogaerts.
Justin Turner.
Dom Smith.
And, perhaps begrudgingly, Jacoby Ellsbury.
That’s a crew. And Bregman is a great signing. All of a sudden, the 2025 Red Sox are looking like — dare we think it — solid contenders.
Stay tuned.
