Alex Bregman officially opted out of his contract with the Boston Red Sox on November 3, and the club could've had a potential disaster on its hands in the infield with one more opt out. Fortunately, the Sox will avoid it.
Trevor Story has opted in to the final two years of his contract with Boston, first reported by Chris Cotillo of MassLive. The Red Sox will have to return to the open market to discuss a potential reunion with Bregman, and they'll miss out on the same fate with Story.
After Boston's playoff elimination, Story gave reporters a hint that he may stick with the Sox instead of opting out.
