The Boston Red Sox infield will undergo significant changes in 2026, primarily due to the departure of veteran third baseman Alex Bregman, who signed with the Chicago Cubs. Willson Contreras has been acquired to fill Bregman’s role, while Marcelo Mayer and newcomer Caleb Durbin will also contribute in the infield. The team aims to improve its defense, particularly with a rotation that relies on ground-ball outs. Key players like Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be crucial to the lineup’s success and overall depth.
