Alex Bregman agrees to $120 million deal with Red Sox

Alex Bregman has signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, which includes opt-out clauses after each of the first two years and deferred money. This deal offers him an annual salary significantly higher than other offers on the table, making him the highest-paid free agent of this offseason. Bregman, a two-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner with a reputation for power and plate discipline, joins a Red Sox team looking to bolster its lineup alongside recent pitching acquisitions. His move ends speculation from teams like the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, and Toronto Blue Jays that were also interested in signing him. Despite a recent elbow surgery, Bregman is expected to make a significant impact, although it remains to be seen how the Red Sox will utilize him with Rafael Devers already at third base. His signing is a notable move for Boston, reflecting their commitment to addressing fan concerns over a lack of significant spending this winter.
