Though Alex Bregman didn’t appear at the Fenway South complex on Thursday, it felt like he was ever-present. During the morning workout, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow went over to Field 1 to watch many of the club’s top prospects.

Alex Bregman and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a $120 million, three-year contract, a person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press.

This Bregman signing could change the landscape between the Yankees and Red Sox. Last year, for example, the Yankees won the American League East, beating out the Baltimore Orioles by 3 games. The Red Sox finished third, with a record of 81-81, or 13 games behind New York.
