Kevin Millar has made one request for Alex Bregman after his move to the Red Sox.
The former Red Sox player, known for his crucial role in the team’s 2004 World Series victory, took to social media to share a special request for the newly signed Bregman. Millar, who was part of the historic 3-0 ALCS comeback against the Yankees, welcomed Bregman to Boston and encouraged him to watch “The Comeback,” a Netflix documentary about that legendary series and the team’s path to their first championship in 86 years.
Despite the spotlight on Bregman’s success with the Houston Astros, where he won two World Series titles, Millar’s message was a reminder of the high expectations and rich history that come with playing for the Red Sox. Bregman, known for his third-base prowess, will be transitioning to second base in Boston, where the team is eager to return to the postseason after missing the playoffs since 2021.
With his impressive bat, Bregman adds strength to a Red Sox lineup that has also been bolstered with offseason acquisitions. While Bregman had a slower start in 2024, finishing the season with a .260 average, 26 home runs, and 75 RBIs, his strong performance at Fenway Park—.375 with seven home runs and a 1.240 OPS in 21 games—suggests he could thrive in his new environment.
The Red Sox’s decision to offer Bregman a $120 million contract, significantly higher than other teams’ offers, reflects their confidence in his potential impact. As Bregman prepares for his first full squad workout in Fort Myers, he may want to find some time to follow Millar’s suggestion. If he embraces the Red Sox culture, the team could soon experience its next memorable postseason moment.
