Alex Bregman Signs $120 Million Deal with Boston Red Sox
Alex Bregman, the star third baseman and two-time World Series champion, has officially signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Boston Red Sox, marking a significant addition to the team’s roster. The agreement, which includes opt-outs after the 2025 and 2026 seasons and deferred money, was finalized late Wednesday night and announced on Saturday morning. Bregman, who spent his entire nine-year career with the Houston Astros, will now bring his right-handed power bat and defensive prowess to Boston.
The 31-year-old infielder, who will turn 32 in March, is coming off a season where he slashed .260/.315/.453 with 26 home runs and 75 RBIs in 145 games. While his offensive numbers were slightly down compared to his peak years, Bregman remains a highly productive player. His career .272/.366/.483 line and 191 home runs highlight his consistency at the plate. Notably, Bregman has excelled at Fenway Park, boasting a .375/.490/.750 slash line with seven home runs in 21 career games there.
In Boston, Bregman is expected to transition to second base, allowing Rafael Devers to remain at third. This move strengthens the Red Sox’s infield defense, which struggled last season. Bregman’s versatility and athleticism make him a natural fit for the position, despite limited experience there in his career. His addition complements Boston’s offseason acquisitions, including pitchers Garrett Crochet, Lance Lynn, and Aroldis Chapman, as the team aims to end a three-year playoff drought.
The Red Sox outbid other suitors, including the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, who offered longer-term deals. Bregman’s decision to join Boston was influenced by the team’s aggressive pursuit and his familiarity with manager Alex Cora, who previously coached him in Houston. The signing signals Boston’s commitment to contending in the highly competitive American League East.
Bregman’s arrival also brings postseason experience to a team that has missed the playoffs since 2021. A key figure in Houston’s recent dynasty, Bregman has played in 99 postseason games, hitting 19 home runs with a .789 OPS. His leadership and clutch performances could prove invaluable as the Red Sox look to return to October baseball.
The deal marks a new chapter for Bregman, who was originally drafted by the Red Sox in 2012 before opting to attend LSU. Now, he returns to Boston as a proven star, ready to help the Red Sox reclaim their place among baseball’s elite.
