The Boston Red Sox signed Alex Bregman last offseason, but when he opted out of his three-year, $120 million deal following an All-Star season, he once again became a top free agent on the market.

Bregman was not only a great player for the Red Sox, but he was also a great mentor for the younger players on the team. He was a two-time All-Star with the Houston Astros before signing with the Red Sox, but had not been the same caliber of player since his last All-Star nod in 2019. Last season, he was closer to that version of himself.

In his two All-Star seasons with the Astros, Bregman slashed .291/.409/.561 with 72 home runs. In the next five seasons, he had a .261/.350/.445 slash line. Last year, he was an All-Star again and is looking to get paid.
