Alex Bregman’s gamble pays off in huge way a year after leaving Astros

For much of last year, it looked like the Houston Astros were going to get the better end of their dance with Alex Bregman last offseason. Instead of returning to Houston on a 6-year deal worth $156M, the All-Star third baseman threw his loyalty to Houston to the side in favor of a three-year deal with the Boston Red Sox worth $120 million. After opting out of the deal after only the first year, Bregman's market appeared to be stalling before Scott Boras ultimately ensured his client got the last laugh over everyone.
