Olney: “Red Sox have ‘signaled a willingness’ to pay [Bregman] big money… perhaps something in the range of 6yrs/$171m”

  1. I feel the FO might be leaking this to put pressure on Bregman but if it’s true and he’s still not budging… at that point I’d rather sign Bichette, put him at 2B, and run Mayer at 3B

  3. If this was offered, he would be a Red Sox already. I call BS. If he rejected this, then I don’t know what he wants.

  4. More Boras planted propaganda. Get fake interest from other teams and get the fan base fired up.

  5. I’d generally hesitate to give 6 years to him, but if he’s willing to take under $30m/yr to get that I’d definitely seriously consider it

  6. Eh, I think if an actual 6 year $171m deal was on the table, not team options or anything, Bregman would have already signed it.

  7. red sox weren’t willing to do 6 years last year when he was a year younger. there’s no way they are offering that this year.

  8. Nah, bro. Almost 30 million a season for a guy who is on the wrong side of 30, just missed almost 50 games, and whose savant page tells a tale of a guy with declining bat speed and power?

    No thank you. I don’t understand why people think Bregman should be back at all apart from the fact that he seems like a good dude.

  9. Realistically speaking, how many more productive years does Bregman have left? I can see the injuries mounting. 3 years with a 4th option would be best for the team.

  10. I am at the store right now and as soon as I read this, “Quit Playing Games with My Heart” just came on. Kinda perfect.

  12. If the Sox are offering 6 years to anyone it should be Bichette.

    Loved Bregman here last year but six years is kinda nuts. We’d have said the same if they threw 7 years at him last year.

  14. Oh just sign someone already lol. The fuckin dramatics around this front office is sickening.

  15. The keywords here are “perhaps” and “something in the range of”. Robert Murray, who knows his shit, couldn’t confirm what (if anything) the Sox have offered Bregman as of last night. Olney is using last year’s Tigers offer as a comp.

  16. Jesus fucking christ we wouldn’t stomach a bad Devers contract but we will sign Bregman to an almost $200 million deal?!??!

  19. I would have a hard time believing the fact sox would offer him 3 years let alone 6. Look what they offered Pete Alonso

  20. Zero chance this happened, but if the Sox actually offered $150M over any number of years and the guy said no, I think it’s time to just move on. The guy is never going to be worth that money.

  21. What does “signal a willingness to pay big money” even mean? Did we make an offer or not?

    It’s feeling like we’re negotiating against ourselves at this point.

  22. Devil in details…

    I’m sure the Red Sox would be willing to do 5 at $28 per including some deferred and a option 6th year based on him hitting some targets

  23. More speculation by the media. The Red Sox don’t leak so someone in the Boras camp is playing the usual game. Bregman didn’t sign last year until mid-February.

  27. I’m starting to think the team is already starting to pivot to cheaper alternatives and are trying to save face by having this “leak”

  28. If this was offered, then Boras is telling him to hold out

    I wouldn’t increase my offer

  30. I just don’t see what he did last season to prove he’s worth the term he couldn’t get last winter. I like him and I’d like him back but if you didn’t want to go beyond 3 last winter he did nothing to make you want to go to 6 this winter,

  31. Very typical of Milliken to help the team push their BS. I don’t get why helping the team’s PR matters more to these people than an actual desire to see the team be good.

  33. If they offered this then he would’ve already signed. This is Boras posturing to get more money out of other teams.

  34. If this is real and Bregman rejects this, he is getting bad advice from his agent or he is insane.
