Alex Bregman's Free Agency
Alex Bregman, the Red Sox third baseman, has opted out of his contract and become a free agent after a bounce-back season, hitting .273 with 18 home runs.
Bregman was coming off a season where he hit just .260 and had signed a 3-year, $120 million contract late in February, a move that brought controversy as All-Star Rafael Devers was asked to move positions and declined, eventually being traded to San Francisco.
Despite a second half slump and a quad injury, the 31-year-old will have suitors in free agency, represented by his agent Scott Boras.
