Alex Bregman has been a key cog in the Red Sox machine this season. The veteran third baseman has fit perfectly in Boston, just as every analyst thought he would. Not only has his production at the plate been award-worthy, but his presence in the clubhouse has completely changed the Red Sox into a winning culture.
Although Bregman's offseason was tumultuous and lasted until days before spring training, he ultimately secured a spectacular deal. He and the Red Sox agreed on a three-year, $120 million contract with opt outs following each season. Those opt outs have been like a sword hanging over the Red Sox's future.
