Alex Bregman Signs 3-Year, $120 Million Contract with Red Sox

Alex Bregman, the standout third baseman known for his time with the Houston Astros, has signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, including two opt-out options. This move marks the end of Bregman's long tenure with the Astros, where he made significant contributions, including two All-Star selections and a Gold Glove award. The Red Sox pursued Bregman to balance their lineup, addressing a need for a right-handed bat. Despite the Astros' competitive offer and the lack of an immediate in-house replacement, they ultimately sought different options. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs, who were interested in Bregman, have acquired his former teammates Ryan Pressly and Kyle Tucker in separate deals. This signing highlights significant offseason shifts in Major League Baseball, particularly affecting the Astros' lineup.
