Alex Bregman opting out of his contract with the Boston Red Sox to become a free agent was a foregone conclusion. All of Red Sox Nation knew it was going to happen unless he missed the entire season. Now, fans are hoping that the front office recognizes the impact he had both on and off the field and brings him back for the long term.
Headed into the 2025-26 offseason, the Red Sox are looking to make splashes. As Craig Breslow said (in similar verbiage), it's much harder to get from 89 wins to 92 than from 81 to 89.
