3 early backup plans for Red Sox if Alex Bregman leaves in free agency

After a 2024 season that looked like he might be on the decline, Alex Bregman has been everything the Boston Red Sox could have hoped for and more after signing him to a Scott Boras special back in February.

The three-year, $120 million deal includes opt-outs after both this season and next, and Boras expects his client to opt out in hopes of the big payday he was denied a year ago. That said, Boras also emphasized that Bregman could be very open to resigning with the Red Sox, while Boston's leadership is very motivated to keep the star third baseman long-term.
