Overview
- Multiple outlets report Bregman will exit the final two years of his three-year, $120 million deal after posting an .822 OPS with 18 home runs in 114 games despite a quad injury.
- Analysts see the Red Sox as the leading fit to retain him, with expected competition from the Phillies, Tigers and Yankees.
- MLB.com's Mark Feinsand lists Philadelphia as a potential suitor to upgrade from Alec Bohm, while projections from insiders suggest Bregman could land a six-year contract.
- The Boston Globe notes Bregman may aim above Matt Chapman’s six-year, $151 million benchmark, and one projection pegs him around six years and $182 million.
- If he departs, MLB.com’s Ian Browne points to Marcelo Mayer as an internal option at third base, a choice that would influence Boston’s pursuit of other big bats such as Pete Alonso or Kyle Schwarber.
