Alex Bregman of the New York Yankees ... wow ... it really could happen this offseason, if the Boston Red Sox don't respond kindly to his forthcoming contract opt-out. Instead, the Yankees let him become Boston's de facto captain and (most of) the rest is history. This isn't the first time the Yankees have been connected to Bregman in the past calendar year. Passan lists third base as a need in the offseason for the Yankees despite acquiring Ryan McMahon and he mentions they could spend big for Bregman. Of course, the cherry on top is that whichever team signs Bregman this offseason (Red Sox or otherwise) is the one most likely to get stuck with a lemon.
