Alex Bregman debuted for the Houston Astros on July 25, 2016, playing in 49 games that seasons with 40 of them coming at third base.
In the eight years since, Bregman has played in 1,062 regular season games, and 955 of them have come at the hot corner.
The veteran has been one of the more solid defenders at the position, totaling 28 Outs Above Average throughout his career per Baseball Savant.
Now a free agent, and unlikely to return to the Astros, the loudest of rumors of late have Bregman taking his talents up north and joining the Boston Red Sox.
The manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora, is all too familiar with Bregman and what he is able to do at the plate and in the field thanks to their time together in Houston during 2017.
In a recent interview with NESN, Cora was asked about Bregman and what he would do for Boston should they add him.
Bregman helped lead the Astros to two World Series Championships during his tenure with the club, one in 2017 and the most recent in 2022.
While the praise rained down for the veteran third baseman from Cora, the manager made one comment that could have hinted at a potential position change for Bregman should he sign with Boston this winter.
