Alex Bregman Opts Out of Red Sox Deal, Drawing Interest from Cubs and Tigers

Third baseman Alex Bregman, a client of agent Scott Boras, has opted out of his three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, making him a free agent. In his first year with the Red Sox, he posted a .273/.360/.462 slashline with 18 home runs, 28 doubles, and 62 RBI, despite being limited to 114 games due to a right quad injury. Boras highlighted Bregman's impact on the Red Sox's playoff run in 2025. The Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, who were finalists for Bregman last offseason, are potential suitors for the three-time All-Star.
