1+ day, 19+ hour ago (878+ words) " It's going to take a while to find out how the offseason is going to unfold for the Red Sox. The team has said it intends to add another front-line starting pitcher and an impact bat. But in reality, one bat won't be enough. Let's say the Sox are successful in bringing back Alex Bregman, which would be the right move. Simply retaining Bregman won't be enough of an upgrade for the team's lineup, however. That much should be obvious by now. The Sox lacked sufficient power a year ago, and that was never more obvious that in the postseason, when slug becomes even more of a necessity. Retaining Bregman would merely get them back to where they were. They need Bregman and another bat. Or, if Bregman leaves to sign elsewhere, they need to make two additions. They could…...
