""Not even thinking about that at all right now. Thinking about the game that just happened," Bregman told reporters. " I'm gonna think about this game and the guys in the room and start my offseason. Get after it and become a better baseball player.""
""It's not at the top of mind. I'm not gonna speak on that right now," Story added."
"Bregman, who signed a three-year, $120 million deal to join the Red Sox in February, has been widely rumored to decline his player option and become a free agent. But the Red Sox and their starting third baseman had extension talks during this season before tabling them in August. Bregman, who'll be 32 when the 2026 season opens, was arguably Boston's best hitter for the 2025 season, hitting .273 with a .821 OPS and 18 homers in 114 games."
The Red Sox' 2025 season ended with a Wild Card Series loss to the Yankees. Alex Bregman and Trevor Story both hold player options for the 2026 season and declined to announce decisions immediately, focusing instead on the recent game and their offseason preparation. Both players expressed a desire to remain in Boston, with Story saying he came to Boston to stay long term and Bregman saying he could envision staying. Bregman drew free-agent speculation despite signing a three-year, $120 million deal and receiving extension talks earlier in the season. Bregman posted a .273 average, .821 OPS and 18 homers in 114 games, then slumped to .187 over his final 27 games.
