""Everything's worked out great in Boston with Bregman. So just because he's opting out doesn't mean he's leaving. Why would he leave? Maybe he will if he gets a much better offer somewhere else. But I mean he is a great fit for Boston," Heyman said on Bleacher Report. "That city, that ballpark with the Green Monster. He had a nice year. So many young guys. It's great to have a veteran of the playoffs.""
"Heyman also listed the Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Seattle Mariners as viable teams for Bregman, along with the Kansas City Royals as a potential surprise team. Detroit made a legitimate push for Bregman last summer, with the third baseman reportedly turning down a six-year contract with the Tiger s before opting for a three-year deal with Boston that included two opt-out clauses."
Alex Bregman is opting out of the final two years of his Boston contract to pursue a long-term, more lucrative deal after a strong 2025 season. His right-handed power, strong third-base defense, and veteran leadership as a two-time World Series champion make him an attractive free agent. The Red Sox are positioned to re-sign him due to fit with manager Alex Cora, familiarity with the city and ballpark, and payroll flexibility after clearing money via the Rafael Devers trade. Other potential suitors include the Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, and the Kansas City Royals.
