If the Red Sox want to get a deal done with Alex Bregman as soon as possible, there’s at least one threshold they’ll have to meet in order for him to sign on the dotted line.
Bregman is seeking a six-year contract in free agency as his market is “more robust” than when he was a free agent last offseason, The Athletic‘s Jen McCaffrey reported Friday.
The news of Bregman’s ask comes as the Diamondbacks have emerged as a surprise candidate to steal the All-Star from the Red Sox. The D-Backs are “kicking the tires” on the possibility, USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale reported earlier this week.
