The race to sign free agent third baseman Alex Bregman took up most of the Boston Red Sox's 2024-25 offseason, and the same thing could happen again even after they signed him.
Bregman is widely expected to opt out of his three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox to seek something more long-term. The veteran could easily re-sign with Boston after he quickly developed into a leader in the clubhouse and helped the team return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021, but nothing is certain.
MLB insider Jon Heyman of New York Post tabbed the Red Sox and Tigers as the two best fits for Bregman, but he thinks another team may enter the race, which could be extremely troubling for Boston.
