Alex Bregman signs three-year, $120 million deal with Red Sox

Third baseman Alex Bregman has signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, marking the end of his free agency journey. The deal includes opt-outs after the first two seasons, allowing Bregman the option to re-enter the market early. Despite a desire for a longer commitment, he opted for this lucrative contract with an average annual value of $40 million. Bregman, who previously played for the Houston Astros, is recognized for his consistent performance, hitting over 20 home runs in each of the last three seasons. His addition to the Red Sox raises questions about how the team will structure its infield, given the presence of Rafael Devers and Tristan Casas. This signing positions the Red Sox as a competitive contender in the American League East.
