Alex Bregman opts out of his Boston Red Sox contract, entering a bustling 2025-26 free-agent class. He posted a strong line in 114 games (.273/.360/.462, 18 HR, 28 2B) with a 3.5 WAR and an All-Star nod, despite a quad strain. The market for third basemen is thin beyond Eugenio Suárez, with Kyle Tucker, Pete Alonso, Bo Bichette, and Kyle Schwarber among the headline names. Boston is keen to bring him back, while Tigers, Mariners, Blue Jays, Mets, Phillies, and Rangers are flagged as potential suitors. Boras is betting on a broader, healthier market.
