Red Sox Alex Bregman Open to Contract Extension Talks

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, who signed a three-year, $120 million deal with opt-out clauses after each season, is open to renegotiating his contract despite having the option to become a free agent after 2025. His agent, Scott Boras, emphasized that both Bregman and the team are willing to have conversations about a new deal, highlighting the mutual benefits of retaining a high-performing player. Bregman has been productive this season, hitting .299 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs, though he has been sidelined since late May with a quadriceps injury. The Red Sox recently traded Rafael Devers, removing a major long-term financial commitment and potentially clearing the way for Bregman to become the team’s long-term third baseman. With the trade deadline approaching, the team faces decisions on whether to trade Bregman, sign him long-term, or pursue other roster adjustments. Manager Alex Cora expects Bregman to return soon, and his leadership has been valuable in mentoring young prospects during his absence.
