"We've talked about Alex Bregman's forthcoming opt-out about as much as we've talked about his play on the field lately. Following last week's report from Jeff Passan that Bregman is likely to opt-out of his contract at the end of the season, Sox CEO Sam Kennedy was asked about it during a radio appearance today and expressed surprise, saying that "he wants to be here [and] we want him to be here." So there you go: everyone loves it here in our fair Commonwealth."
"One of the Yankees most famous and coolest fans, Spike Lee, spoke a little bit about the rivalry and being heckled by Red Sox fans at his home on Martha's Vineyard. He didn't mention me specifically, but 22 years ago I saw Spike on the street in Washington, DC and shouted "Yankees suck!" as I walked by. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't done that, and instead just told him how freaking awesome Do The Right Thing is or something."
Alex Bregman is likely to opt out of his contract at the end of the season. The team has not discussed his contract beyond this season, and both sides want him to remain. Bregman has produced 3.4 bWAR so far this season and has called Carlos Narvaez late at night to discuss optimizing the pitching staff. Age and recent injury history are relevant to his future while widespread league injuries have left many players on the injured list. Kyle Harrison reached Boston after injuries opened opportunities and refined his repertoire in Worcester following his acquisition in the Rafael Devers trade. The Yankees return for a crucial late-season series, and a fan anecdote recalls heckling Spike Lee and later regretting it.
