Overview

• Reports indicate Bregman will forgo the final two years and roughly $80 million of his three-year, $120 million pact signed in February, which included significant deferrals.
• The Red Sox remain a logical bidder, while the Tigers are widely viewed as a leading suitor after reportedly offering six years and $171.5 million last winter.
• Other potential pursuers cited in reporting include the Blue Jays and Mariners, with the Royals mentioned as a possible surprise entrant.
• Bregman made the 2025 All-Star team and logged 114 games, missing about seven weeks with a right quadriceps strain.
• His decision creates a vacancy at third base for Boston, which traded Rafael Devers in June and must choose between re-signing Bregman or sourcing an external replacement.
