Alex Bregman is officially wearing red and white, signing a three-year, $120 million deal with the Boston Red Sox.
And let’s be clear—this isn’t just some routine roster upgrade. This is a statement.
The Deal: Big Money and Big Decisions
Now, let’s talk about the details. Bregman’s getting a $5 million signing bonus, a cool $35 million for this season, and forty million each of the next two years. And the kicker? He’s got opt-outs after 2025 and 2026, meaning if he’s feeling good and the market looks right, he could test free agency again sooner rather than later.
The Deal: Big Money and Big Decisions
So where does he fit in? Well, that’s where things get interesting. The Red Sox already have Rafael Devers locked in at third, so Bregman is likely shifting to second base.
That’s a change, but hey, we’re talking about a two-time World Series champ and Gold Glove winner—he’ll figure it out. Shortstop Trevor Story couldn’t be happier, saying Bregman brings “intensity, leadership, and a winning mentality” to the clubhouse.
Fun fact: Story and Bregman were almost teammates in Houston a few years back, but now the tables have turned—Story played recruiter and helped bring Bregman to Beantown.
Can Bregman Return to MVP Form for the Red Sox?
Now, let’s be honest—Bregman’s 2023 season wasn’t strictly vintage Bregman. He hit .260 with 26 home runs and 75 RBIs—not bad, but not quite the MVP-caliber numbers we saw in 2018 and 2019 when he was racking up 30+ homers, 100+ RBIs, and leading the league in doubles and walks.
The guy knows how to perform in October, with 19 career postseason homers (tied for sixth in MLB history). When the lights shine brightest, Bregman delivers.
The Sox will officially introduce Bregman at a press conference on Sunday. They also cleared a roster spot by placing Patrick Sandoval on the 60-day IL as he recovers from UCL surgery.
Bottom line? The Red Sox just got a whole lot more interesting. If Bregman finds his groove again, this lineup could be dangerous.
Buckle up Red Sox Fans because Boston made a massive move that could shake up the AL East.
