First baseman Jake Bauers, the reigning NLCS MVP, is reportedly headed to Boston after helping deliver the Milwaukee Brewers their first-ever World Series ring.

Bauers and the Red Sox have agreed to a four-year, $58 million deal, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported on Friday.

Boston, which finished 23rd in MLB in runs per game this past season, will welcome the 31-year-old Bauers, who’s coming off a career year.

His .389 on-base percentage was the second best among all NL players in 2026. In addition to racking up a career-high 26 home runs and 86 RBI, he also ranked 10th in the majors with 94 walks drawn.

As a result of Bauers signing with the Red Sox, the Brewers will receive a compensatory pick right after the first round, per Passan.

After previously playing for Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Seattle and the New York Yankees, Bauers landed with the Brewers. He broke out this past season, his third with the club.
