Why MLB Insider Believes Alex Bregman Sweepstakes Will Be ‘Must-Watch’
Bregman is expected to have several teams after him
Alex Bregman is expected to have plenty of suitors after him as MLB free agency stretches deeper into the offseason.
The 31-year-old Bregman opted out of his contract with the Red Sox earlier this offseason in hopes he’d land one more long-term deal. The veteran third baseman hoped for the same last offseason, of course, but ultimately signed a three-year pact which included opt outs after each campaign.
This offseason, though, appears to be headed in a different direction for the 2025 MLB All-Star. And The Athletic’s Jim Bowden believes the Bregman sweepstakes will be “must-watch” given that there are several teams who all could be in the mix.

“… There are several contending teams that Bregman would be a difference-maker for if he signs with any of them, including the Tigers, Phillies, Mariners, Yankees, Mets and Blue Jays, as well as non-contending teams like the Angels and Pirates,” Bowden wrote in a story published Wednesday. “His free agency is going to be must-watch during the Winter Meetings.”
Bowden, as many others have shared, believes Bregman would “love” if the Red Sox are the team that extends a long-term term deal. However, it remains to be seen if Boston will be willing to offer the deal he’s hoping to receive.
