Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman is about to enter free agency, with the goal being to leverage his All-Star season in 2025 (and tremendous career thus far) to land the fattest paycheck possible.
There's nothing to dislike about Bregman's approach here. While his right-handed bat fits perfectly at Fenway Park (with a 2025 Silver Slugger finalist nod to show for it), it would be foolish for Bregman to commit to the Red Sox before Boston proves it can compete with the market's richest offers.
Amid a potentially tame offseason cycle for MLB, Bregman's situation has fans and analysts enthralled.
