Alex Bregman poised to opt out of Red Sox contract amid MVP-level performance

Alex Bregman has delivered an MVP-level performance for the Boston Red Sox this season, despite a seven-week absence due to a quad strain. He is strongly positioned to opt out of the remaining two years and $80 million on his current contract to test free agency, having a much better season than in 2024. Although a Scott Boras client, there is mutual interest in Bregman securing a new long-term deal to remain with the Red Sox.
