Marcelo Mayer

The Red Sox allegedly would like to bring back Alex Bregman to play third base, but they appear to be seriously interested in adding Bichette as another option. If Bichette were to come to Boston, he could perhaps move to second base and allow Marcelo Mayer to play third, or the Red Sox could slide Trevor Story back to second base and put Bichette at short. Bichette's plus contact ability and line drive approach would play really well against the Green Monster, but we are still in the early stages here.

Everything went really, really well in terms of recovery," added Breslow. "He's doing really well, stronger, he's put on some weight. He looks more physical." The 22-year-old former top prospect, who underwent wrist surgery back in August, is the odds-on favorite to open next season as Boston's starting third baseman assuming they're unable to re-sign veteran Alex Bregman. He batted just .228/.272/.402 with four homers in 136 plate appearances over 44 games, but it's simply too small of a sample to draw any firm conclusions, especially given his prospect pedigree. He'll enter spring training at just 23 years old and represents an interesting buy-low candidate for fantasy managers in dynasty formats.
