Alex Bregman reportedly plans to opt out of $120 million Red Sox contract following bounce-back year.
Last offseason, Alex Bregman signed a
three-year, $120 million deal with the Boston Red Sox in free agency. A few months later, he's going to test the market again.
Bregman is
expected to opt out of his Red Sox deal after one season, per multiple media reports. The 31-year-old reportedly is planning to leave the team despite still having two years and $80 million left on his current deal.
It was a bounce-back year for Bregman, who hit .273/.360/.462 with 18 home runs last season. After a blistering first half, in which he hit .298/.380/.546, Bregman made the All-Star team for the first time in six seasons. His second half wasn't as strong as he recovered from a quad injury that sidelined him for about seven weeks. Bregman hit just .250/.341/.386 over the final 61 games for the Red Sox.
