The shocking signing of Alex Bregman has the Red Sox making major moves, and this episode dives into what it means for the team. How did this unexpected deal come together, and where will Bregman fit into the lineup? Lou and Alex break down his journey from middle infielder to key piece in Boston’s plans. But with Bregman’s arrival, what happens to Rafael Devers? Despite the signing, Devers still believes he is the Red Sox' starting third baseman, and Lou and Alex discuss how that dynamic will play out.

Then, the conversation shifts to the health of the starting rotation. After Walker Buehler was hit by a line drive in practice, the guys discuss concerns around the pitching staff and the depth the Red Sox have, including Garrett Crochet’s addition, Lucas Giolito’s recovery, and Tanner Houck’s transition to a full-time starter. Could this rotation be the best Boston has seen since 2018?

In the second half of the episode, Lou and Alex take a closer look at the Red Sox’s top prospects—Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Khristian Campbell. What makes them stand out, and how soon can we expect to see them make an impact?

It’s a jam-packed episode with plenty of Red Sox insights, from Bregman’s big move to pitching health and the next generation of stars. Don’t miss this episode of 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers with Lou Merloni & Alex Speier!

We dive into the intense position battle unfolding in Spring Training between Alex Bregman, Rafael Devers, Khristian Campbell, and Vaughn Grissom. With Bregman officially a Red Sox, the question on everyone's mind is how he’ll fit into the infield alongside Devers, Campbell, and Grissom. While Bregman’s experience and leadership will undoubtedly secure him a starting spot, the real question is where he’ll land in the infield with Devers currently at Third Base and Campbell and Grissom fighting for playing time.

From there, we break down the excitement of the first day of full-team practices, with Bregman ready to embrace his new role, and his leadership in the clubhouse. We also discuss Vaughn Grissom’s progress, Trevor Story’s hold on shortstop, and more roster updates as the team looks to solidify its defensive lineup.
