Well his dad is running for Governor of New Mexico. Maybe four year terms run in the family.
Thank god

Good. 4 years is my max too. Like, how does he fit on the roster if you assume Anthony and Campbell have spots by the end of the year? No prospect is guaranteed but you also don’t block guys of their caliber. Not sure how Bregman fits beyond making multiple trades, and even if you do that there’s zero guarantee it ends up actually improving the team. What, move Casas, a younger bat with more pop, so we get to watch Bregman decline? No thanks.
Tbh right now I’d be open to a signing that basically upgrades Romy Gonzalez’s roster spot, one more upgrade for the pen, and otherwise be opportunistic on something like a Dylan Cease trade. But if all we do from now til Opening Day is sign some extensions I’ll be psyched.
Hallelujah.
In a vacuum I couldn’t care less about Bregman, there’s probably another option available that would accomplish the same contribution.
However it’s absurd that this ownership group is simply doing the same shit they’ve been doing for the last 5 years. Underpay, under invest and lie to the fanbase about their level of commitment to actually winning. Fuck these people.
Propaganda
I’m still confused on why people don’t want him. Adding a player like him (won multiple rings and an experienced vet) can only help a young team with no vocal leader and limited post season experience. Would be akin to adding JDM all over again imho.
Understanding it creates a log jam with Campbell and Grissom. But given story can’t play more than 100 games, it adds flexibility you’ve been missing.
Ayye thank God. Phew.
We almost got stuck with Teoscar, Fried, Burnes, Santander, Adames, Profar, Soto, Bregman, Eovaldi or Snell.
I mean where would we even get the minutes for any of these guys to play? Also, more than a year? Dude I’m so relieved. I was scared this off season we would get stuck with any of these guys.
So happy.
I dont know why people push this or get upset. Bregman doesnt make sense at all. We have Devers, Story, Casas, Vaughn (and a healthy Yoshuda) and a couple elite infielders from AAA waiting for a chance. Why would you sign Bregman for more than 1 year?
Bregman is a little bitch
Not surprised, they’re not in the winning games business
I feel like I always knew they were going to enter this season without a proven RH bat with pop and a payroll lower than last year. So far they haven’t let me down.
I love FSG running this team like a business. If we can’t win championships, we can celebrate gross profit and rub other team’s fans noses it! Go Sox!
We can debate the wisdom of a five year deal for Bregman, but the Red Sox talked themselves into position where they have no excuse not to go there (or to get aggressive on the AAV for a 4 year deal).

And of course Cora has practically been begging for Bregman. You’ve said you have the need.
