Bregman Bolts Red Sox: Seeks Greener Pastures
13 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Alex Bregman opted out of his contract seeking a more competitive team.
- The Red Sox traded Rafael Devers knowing Bregman would be their target.
- Bregman seeks consistent postseason play, a staple of his Astros years.
Alex Bregman has opted out of his three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, just last offseason. This decision stems from a desire to join a more competitive team, a sentiment expressed by his agent. Despite leaving the contract, the Red Sox are still considered Bregman's primary free-agent target.
The Red Sox made significant moves, including trading Rafael Devers, with the expectation of Bregman filling the third base position. Bregman, who consistently reached the postseason with the Houston Astros, is reportedly seeking an organization that can guarantee a similar level of playoff contention.
Bregman is coming off a solid performance last season, hitting .273 with 18 home runs and an .821 OPS. His consistent offensive production and elite defense make him a highly sought-after free agent. Other teams, such as the Detroit Tigers, also show interest.
