"Bregman is known to be a priority for the Red Sox. He opted out of his three-year deal with Boston after hitting .273/.360/.462 over 495 plate appearances. He made his third All-Star team despite suffering a quad strain that sidelined him between late May and the middle of July. That's a testament to the strength of his first half. Bregman slashed .298/.380/.546 with 11 home runs over 53 games before the Break."
"While Bregman's power dropped late in the season, he showed his typically excellent plate discipline. He walked more often than he struck out even in his less impressive final few months. Bregman narrowly established a career mark with a 44.4% hard contact rate and remained the above-average hitter he was throughout his time in Houston. He's no longer an MVP contender as he was at his 2018-19 peak,"
Arizona has expressed interest in signing Alex Bregman to fill a vacancy at third base, though the team appears a long shot to meet a high salary. Bregman opted out of his three-year Boston contract after a .273/.360/.462 line over 495 plate appearances and earned a third All-Star selection despite a quad strain. He hit .298/.380/.546 with 11 homers in 53 first-half games but slumped to .250/.341/.386 over his final 261 plate appearances. Bregman maintained excellent plate discipline, posted a 44.4% hard-contact rate, projects as a 25-homer, .360 OBP threat, and remains an above-average defensive third baseman with strong clubhouse presence.
