The Boston Red Sox had a fantastic offseason. The last few offseasons were pretty slow for Boston but this past one was completely different. The American League is wide open and the Red Sox were aggressive.

A few days after the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman, A.J. Hinch predicted he would change their clubhouse. “He’s always thinking about baseball and talking about baseball,” said Hinch, who managed Bregman with the Astros and now manages the Tigers. “He’ll have his opinions.”

There is yet another example of how Alex Bregman is clearly perfectly suited for his role as a mentor for the younger Red Sox players: He bought them all suits.
