Red Sox, Tigers, and Blue Jays Emerge as Top Contenders for Alex Bregman
The star infielder's free agency is marked by stalled negotiations as teams weigh his $200 million asking price against positional and financial constraints.
- Alex Bregman, a two-time World Series champion and Gold Glove winner, remains unsigned as he seeks a contract reportedly worth $200 million.
- The Boston Red Sox are seen as a logical fit due to their need for a right-handed bat, though questions persist about positional adjustments involving Rafael Devers.
- The Detroit Tigers, despite interest and a strong connection between Bregman and manager A.J. Hinch, are hesitant to commit to a long-term, high-cost deal.
- The Toronto Blue Jays are also in contention, with analysts speculating they may have more flexibility to meet Bregman’s demands compared to other teams.
- Industry insiders suggest Bregman may need to lower his expectations, as his market value appears to be falling short of his initial $200 million target.
