Red Sox Land Star Infielder Alex Bregman on a Three-Year, $120M Deal

The Boston Red Sox have made a major move by signing free-agent infielder Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract. The deal includes opt-out options after the first two seasons, giving Bregman flexibility throughout his tenure in Boston. With an average annual salary of $40 million, this contract places him among the highest-paid players in Major League Baseball. His addition brings veteran leadership and a proven track record of success to a Red Sox team looking to strengthen its infield and lineup.
​
A two-time All-Star and key part of the Houston Astros’ World Series wins in 2017 and 2022, Bregman is expected to shift to second base to accommodate Rafael Devers at third. While he has limited experience at the position, his versatility and offensive firepower make him a valuable asset for the Red Sox. His impressive career numbers at Fenway Park, where he boasts a .375 batting average and a 1.240 OPS, likely played a role in his decision to join the team. With this signing, Boston aims to make a strong push for contention in the coming seasons.
