Boston Red Sox fans already rode the emotional rollercoaster that was Alex Bregman's first contract with the team — the third baseman took until February to sign a bridge deal, and his opt-out meant that another rigorous offseason of rumors was coming.
So far, that's been true. At first, Bregman's market seemed small with the Red Sox the obvious top suitor. But new clubs, like the Toronto Blue Jays and Arizona Diamondbacks (Bregman lives in Arizona during the offseason) have entered the fray, and Boston's chance for a reunion with last season's star now seems less certain.
Bregman, himself has played a role in the sweeping emotional changes in a very 21st century method of communication.
