"Bregman, who will be 32 at the start of next season, had two years and $80 million left on the deal that he originally inked with Boston at the start of spring training in February. But the writing was on the wall that Bregman's short-term contract with the Red Sox was likely only a place-holder, given the fact that Bregman had opt-out clauses in place after both the 2025 and 2026 seasons in case he wanted to go to market."
""There could be an extra suitor or two, potentially including at least one surprise team," Heyman said of Bregman's options in free agency. "Boston still seems like a logical fit." Along with the Red Sox, Heyman tabbed the Detroit Tigers as the "most obvious suitor." Heyman also listed the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners as viable teams for Bregman, along with the Kansas City Royals as a potential surprise team."
Alex Bregman will opt out of his current Red Sox contract and become a free agent this offseason. He will be 32 at the start of next season and had two years and $80 million remaining on his deal. The contract included opt-out clauses after both the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Bregman raised his stock as a veteran leader on a playoff-bound Red Sox team. Potential suitors include the Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, and possibly the Kansas City Royals. He hit .273/.360/.462 with 18 home runs and 62 RBIs across 114 games in 2025, then saw production dip after a seven-week quad injury.
