Alex Bregman is expected to have plenty of suitors after him as MLB free agency stretches deeper into the offseason.
The 31-year-old Bregman opted out of his contract with the Red Sox earlier this offseason in hopes he’d land one more long-term deal. The veteran third baseman hoped for the same last offseason, of course, but ultimately signed a three-year pact which included opt outs after each campaign.
This offseason, though, appears to be headed in a different direction for the 2025 MLB All-Star. And The Athletic’s Jim Bowden believes the Bregman sweepstakes will be “must-watch” given that there are several teams who all could be in the mix.
“… There are several contending teams that Bregman would be a difference-maker for if he signs with any of them, including the Tigers, Phillies, Mariners, Yankees, Mets and Blue Jays, as well as non-contending teams like the Angels and Pirates,” Bowden wrote in a story published Wednesday. “His free agency is going to be must-watch during the Winter Meetings.”
Bowden, as many others have shared, believes Bregman would “love” if the Red Sox are the team that extends a long-term term deal. However, it remains to be seen if Boston will be willing to offer the deal he’s hoping to receive.
