MLB Writer Suggests Massive Red Sox Trade Involving Alex Bregman, Luis Castillo
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
The Boston Red Sox have the chance to be major players at the trade deadline once again this season, and it all revolves around infielder Alex Bregman.
Boston could look to trade Bregman if there's a team in the league willing to part ways with big league players and prospects.
Bleacher Report's Zachary Rymer recently pitched a trade idea that would send Bregman to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Luis Castillo and prospect Michael Arroyo.
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 23: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox takes the field ahead of game one of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on May 23, 2025 in...

Maddie Malhotra/Boston"Let's just say it isn't surprising that the Mariners would be interested in Bregman if the Red Sox put him out there," Rymer wrote. "He was a fit for Seattle on paper during the offseason, albeit less so when it came to the financials. But as we'll get to in a minute, that part could potentially be mitigated if Bregman were to become a Mariner by way of a trade.
"As for the situation at third base, Jorge Polanco quickly proved to be a non-viable option there and Williamson simply doesn't hit enough to justify everyday playing time. In 61 games, he's slugging .306 with a single homer. The Mariners with Bregman alongside Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez would be a scary team capable of making it to the World Series, which should be the whole idea after 48 years of swings and misses."
There's a lot to unpack in this trade package.
First of all, from the Mariners' perspective, it makes perfect sense. Trading away an expensive starter like Castillo to bring in an expensive talent like Bregman doesn't change their payroll much, but it largely improves their lineup. Seattle would build the pitching staff back up through the farm system.
For the Red Sox, this could make sense, too. Boston's lineup would struggle without Bregman, but adding an ace like Castillo to place alongside Garrett Crochet for the next few years would be huge. Boston might need a bit more in this deal, but the framework looks very realistic.

'Heartbroken' Texans pledge $500K to aid Texas Hill Country communities after devastating floods
The Houston Texans announced on Saturday that the organization is donating $500,000 to help support those affected by the devastating floods that hit the Texas Hill Country this week. "We are heartbroken by the loss and damage that our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country have endured. We are especially devastated to hear about the children who are still missing and we are praying they are reunited with their families soon. Our hearts will remain with everyone affected and in addition to our donation, we will continue to support the search, rescue and recovery efforts in the coming weeks." A storm swept through the area, killing at least 27 people, including nine children. Officials said that 23 to 25 girls from a summer camp in Hunt, Texas were still unaccounted for and that approximately 850 people have been rescued so far. Advertisement 'The camp was completely destroyed,' said 13-year-old Elinor Lester, who was one of the campers at Camp Mystic. 'A helicopter landed and started taking people away. It was really scary.' Fast-moving waters rose to 26 feet along the Guadalupe River in less than an hour on Friday morning. Heavy rains are forecasted for Saturday with flash flood warnings and watches remaining in effect for parts of central Texas. Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, who spent the first nine seasons of his MLB career with the Houston Astros, has posted several times on X since Friday with photos and contact information for those still missing.

Which 10 Players Have the Most RBIs in MLB History?
The long ball has marveled the baseball world since the dawn of time, but it can only generate so much run production if nobody is on base. Driving in runners and the timely nature of it is all mental, as a double with a runner on second base counts for as much as a double with nobody on base: it's a double. To an extent, those who drive in the most runs are on playoff teams and therefore tend to have more runners on base to rack up their RBI total. That said, which players have the most RBIs in MLB history? FOX Sports Research compiled a list of players who have driven in the most runs since RBIs became an official statistic in 1920. 10 players with the most RBIs in MLB history 10. Willie Mays: 1,909 One of the best center fielders in MLB history, Mays was a run-producing machine for the San Francisco Giants, with whom he spent the majority of his career (1951-52 and 1954-72). Mays, a two-time NL MVP, 12-time Gold Glover and 24-time All-Star, led the National League in home runs four times and drove in 100-plus runs in 10 seasons. 9. Eddie Murray: 1,917 Murray was a force to be reckoned with from the jump for the Baltimore Orioles, as the first baseman was the 1977 American League Rookie of the Year Award winner. The switch-hitting star hit for both contact and power and drove in 100-plus runs in six seasons, five of them coming with the Orioles, with whom he won the 1983 World Series. A three-time Gold Glover, three-time Silver Slugger and eight-time All-Star, Murray finished his career with 1,917 RBIs. 8. Jimmie Foxx: 1,922 Foxx was a menace from the right side and one of the most powerful hitters the game has ever seen. Winning two batting titles and earning nine All-Star nods, Foxx hit 534 career home runs and drove in 1,922 runs. In doing so, Foxx led the AL in home runs four times, RBIs three times and drove in 100-plus runs in 13 seasons, including 150-plus runs in four seasons. Foxx, a three-time MVP, won two World Series with the Philadelphia Athletics and was an All-Star for both Philadelphia and the Boston Red Sox. 7. Stan Musial: 1,951 Musial was an unbelievable hitter for the St. Louis Cardinals. The outfielder/first baseman was a balanced hitter who seldom struck out. Musial drove in 100-plus runs in 10 seasons, won seven NL batting titles, led the NL in doubles eight times and triples five times. A three-time NL MVP and 24-time All-Star, Musial finished his 22-year career with 1,951 RBIs, with his 3,630 career hits ranking fourth in MLB history. 6. Babe Ruth: 1,983 Ruth hit a lot of home runs — 714 to be exact, which ranks third all-time. "The Babe" drove in 1,983 runs from 1920-on. Mind you, he was primarily an elite starting pitcher for the first five years of his career with the Red Sox. Nevertheless, whether it was with the Red Sox or the New York Yankees, Ruth was an imposing and overwhelming force from the left side of the plate. Ruth led the AL in home runs 12 times, RBIs five times and is first in MLB history with a career .690 slugging percentage. 5. Lou Gehrig: 1,995 Gehrig drove in runs in his sleep. The star first baseman led the AL in RBIs five times and home runs three times, while totaling 100-plus RBIs in 13 seasons and 140 RBIs in nine of those seasons. Helping the Yankees win six World Series across his 17-year career (1923-39), Gehrig was an impact hitter from the left side who won two AL MVP awards. Gehrig hit 493 career home runs and drove in 1,995 runs. 4. Barry Bonds: 1,996 When you own the all-time record for home runs, chances are you're going to rank high on an RBI list. And Bonds, who blasted 762 home runs, indeed drove in 1,996 runs, which ranks fourth all-time. Bonds totaled 100-plus RBIs in 12 seasons, won two NL batting titles, claimed seven NL MVPs and won 12 Silver Slugger awards. And he drew an MLB-record 2,558 walks on top of it, including an MLB-record 688 intentional walks. 3. Alex Rodriguez: 2,086 Rodriguez provided electricity at the plate. A three-time AL MVP Award winner, the superstar infielder was a hassle from the right side, slugging at an elite rate with three different teams (Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Yankees). He led the NL in home runs five times, RBIs twice and totaled 100-plus RBIs in 14 seasons. A 10-time Silver Slugger and 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez hit 696 career home runs, which ranks fifth all-time, and drove in 2,086 runs. 2. Albert Pujols: 2,218 Arguably the best first baseman of the 21st century, Pujols was as intimidating in the batter's box as anybody in his generation. A three-time NL MVP Award winner and six-time Silver Slugger, Pujols totaled 40-plus home runs in seven seasons and 100-plus RBIs in 14 seasons. The impact, power-hitting Pujols, who played for both the Cardinals (2001-11 and 2022) and Los Angeles Angels (2012-21), cranked 703 career home runs, which ranks fourth all-time, and drove in 2,218 runs. 1. Henry Aaron: 2,297 Aaron hit for contact, won three Gold Gloves and helped the Braves win the 1957 World Series. There was nothing that Aaron didn't do at a great-to-elite level. On the offensive front, he launched 755 home runs, which ranks second in MLB history, drove in an MLB-record 2,297 runs and tallied 3,771 hits, which ranks third. Furthermore, Aaron totaled 100-plus RBIs in 11 seasons and 40-plus home runs in eight seasons. Check out all of our Daily Rankers . Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

A recent example here was a three-leg same game parlay of Aaron Judge to get a hit and an RBI and for the Yankees to win the game. In that case, the +200 odds meant that a $10 wager paid out $30 if all three legs won. The Cardinals have been closing in on the Cubs in recent days, but they will need a lot of runs to garner a win today. Chicago has been battling the Dodgers for the honor of top-scoring team in the Majors. That should move the total runs number for this contest close to the double-digit mark.

The Mets and Yankees contest isn't the only potential World Series preview taking place today, as the Astros and Dodgers square off at Dodgers Stadium. These teams have both been playing very well of late, so the moneyline odds in this matchup are apt to be very close. This MLB season has seen its share of new stars, but Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh may top the list. He's not only breaking records set by Mickey Mantle and Johnny Bench but also the awesome nickname of 'Big Dumper.' A Raleigh home run prop bet is bound to be among the favorite wagers in tonight's game against Pittsburgh. There's even more on the MLB schedule, with a great AL Central matchup of Tigers at Guardians and a Reds at Phillies matchup that will impact the NL playoff standings.
