Alex Bregman, Boston Red Sox
Digest more
Get the scoop on the Yankees rumors and their potential interest in Red Sox star Alex Bregman as MLB free agency heats up.
Before the 2025 season, Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with Boston, but he opted out of the final two years of it when the Red Sox's season ended. This means that he is a free agent for the second straight offseason.
Hollywood action star Mark Wahlberg and his siblings are lifelong Boston Red Sox fans, having grown up in the Dorchester area.
The Boston Red Sox could lose Alex Bregman in free agency, and the Detroit Tigers would make sense as a suitor.
“Alex Bregman has officially opted out of his contract with the Red Sox, per a report from Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. Bregman will return to free agency, leaving the final two years and $80MM (including $40MM in deferred money) of the deal he signed with Boston last offseason on the table,” MLB Trade Rumors' Nick Deeds wrote.
