During Scott Boras’s media session at the MLB GM Meetings on Wednesday ― a periodic occasion that is part news conference, part sales pitch, part standup routine ― he made a coffee-based speech about Alex Bregman and the Red Sox.
You could even say he perked right up when asked about him.
“In Boston, prior to ‘25, they had a lot of lineup do-not holes. And certainly prior to ‘25, Boston has been a club that’s been Dunkin’ well below the playoff line,” Boras said. “I think it was a bad roast in Beantown. And certainly give the owners credit. In ‘25, they went out and spent some star bucks to bring in a Bregman blend that led them to the playoffs.
“I’m sure the Boston fans don’t want this to be just a cup of coffee. And no one wants a Breg-xit.”
