Despite the Boston Red Sox sitting at a perfectly average 19-19 as we approach the quarter-mark of the MLB season, third baseman Alex Bregman has been on an absolute tear. Through his first 37 games in a Red Sox uniform, the 31-year-old is hitting .327 with nine home runs, 30 RBI, and a 1.093 OPS.

Alex Bregman is off to the best start of his career. But his mission isn't centered around individual achievement.

The Boston Red Sox entered this week in desperate need of a vibe shift. Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Texas Rangers was the team's fifth in its last six games, dropping its record back below .500 at 18-19.
