Despite a successful first season with the Boston Red Sox, Alex Bregman opted out of the remaining two years on his contract. Most fans and experts foresaw Bregman's opt-out and expected him to take to the free agent market again in search of a longer deal, but many fans remain in disbelief that the veteran would risk losing so much money.
Regardless of the differing stances on Bregman's opt-out decision, most fans could do without the anxiety of another will they, won't they offseason from he and Boston. Some have argued that the Red Sox shouldn't bring him back at all due to his asking price.
