Alex Bregman Ranked High in Free Agency Despite Injury Concerns

Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, 32, is ranked 2nd in the latest 2025-26 free-agency rankings despite an opt-out clause in his contract. He has performed well since returning in early July from a hamstring issue that sidelined him for a month and a half. While his defense at third base remains stellar, his lower-half health and declining sprint speed (career-low 20th percentile) are ongoing concerns given his history of lower-body injuries.
