Alex Bregman Signs $120M Deal With Red Sox, Ending Nine-Year Astros Tenure
The two-time All-Star and World Series champion joins Boston on a three-year contract with opt-out options after each of the first two seasons.
- Alex Bregman has signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, including opt-outs after the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
- The deal positions Bregman to play second base for the Red Sox, complementing Rafael Devers at third base in Boston's infield.
- The Astros, Cubs, and Tigers pursued Bregman, but Boston's offer of a higher annual salary and flexibility through opt-outs secured the deal.
- Bregman expressed gratitude to the Houston Astros and their fans in an emotional farewell, reflecting on his nine seasons and two World Series titles with the team.
- The Astros have turned to other options to fill Bregman's void, including Isaac Paredes and recently acquired Nolan Arenado, while Cubs prospect Matt Shaw now has a clear path to their third base role.
