Overview

  • Bregman opted out of his Boston contract and remains on the market as a high-profile free agent.
  • MLB.com’s Andrew Simon labeled Boston the perfect fit, and reporting portrays Bregman as a top priority for the club.
  • He produced a .299/.385/.553 line before a late-May right quad injury and earned his first All-Star nod since 2019.
  • Contract outlooks differ, with ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel projecting about $170 million and a Newsweek piece predicting $150 million for a Red Sox reunion.
  • The Yankees, Mets, Tigers and Cubs are linked to his market, while Boston has added Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras yet still needs a long-term third baseman.
