Speier, who cited multiple sources, wrote the Red Sox \u201cinterest had been in a deal of no more than four years\u201d for the veteran third baseman.<\/p>\n<p>Bregman\u2019s age \u2014 he turns 31 at the end of March \u2014 and decrease in production this past season probably is why the Red Sox don\u2019t want to make a massive financial commitment to Bregman. Boston has highly-rated prospect Kristian Campbell, who can play second or third, on the precipice of the big leagues as well.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It appears other teams are willing to back up the brinks truck for Bregman, though. Ari Alexander of KPRC2 in Houston reported the Astros still have their six-year, $156 million deal to Bregman, which he initially rejected, on the table. Alexander also reported \u201cat least three teams have offered Bregman a deal of five years or longer this offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The Red Sox may or may not be one of those teams. But if they aren\u2019t, they will most likely have to move off their spot in regards to a contract offer if they want Bregman in a Red Sox uniform. Or hope Alex Cora\u2019s relationship with Bregman is so strong that Bregman will take what Boston offers him.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This could be a sticking point in contract talks between free agent third baseman Alex Bregman and the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":29384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
