🚨 REPORT: Alex Bregman Decides to Opt Out of Red Sox Contract — Hits the Open Market 🚨

Boston Red Sox All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman is planning on opting out of his current contract and testing free agency, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

“Alex Bregman will be opting out of his current Red Sox deal, sources say, and off his fine first year in Boston, there could be an extra suitor or two, potentially including at least one surprise team,” Heyman wrote. “Boston still seems like a logical fit.”

Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million deal last offseason, and will be opting out of the final two years and $80 million. According to Heyman, it was “an easy call” to opt out as he’ll have a large market of suitors.

In addition to the Red Sox, Heyman mentioned the Detroit Tigers as the “most obvious suitor.” He also mentioned the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, as well as the Kansas City Royals as a potential surprise team.

Bregman’s market didn’t materialize as he expected last offseason, and he was forced to take a shorter term deal with opt outs and bet on himself. The move paid off, as Bregman earned $40 million this year and will now have the opportunity to get the long-term deal he coveted last offseason.

Bregman appeared in 114 games this season, slashing .273/.360/.462 with 18 home runs, 62 RBIs and an OPS of .821. He was a great fit in Boston, leading them to an AL Wild Card appearance, where they lost to the rival New York Yankees in three games. Bregman went 3-for-10 in the postseason with an OPS of .862.

After the Game 3 Wild Card loss, Bregman was asked if he could envision himself in a Red Sox uniform next year.

“Of course,” Bregman said, but added, “I’m not even thinking about that at all right now. I’m thinking about the game that just happened.”
