Red Sox Reportedly ‘Satisifed’ With Offer To Alex Bregman

The Boston Red Sox reportedly have an offer on the table to third baseman Alex Bregman.

Bregman remains one of the top free agents available, and Boston is reportedly interested in bringing him back. Red Sox insider Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic confirmed Boston has an “aggressive” offer out.

“With pitchers and catchers reporting in just over a month, the Boston Red Sox have made what they feel is a competitive offer to free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, a league source confirmed,” McCaffrey wrote on Wednesday.

“Now they’ll wait to see if Bregman agrees. The source, who’s familiar with the Bregman negotiations, confirmed an ESPN report that the Red Sox’s offer was “aggressive”.

“… But for now, the sides sit at a stalemate: the Red Sox seemingly satisfied with their current offer and Bregman likely holding out for more.”

Bregman opted out of his three-year, $120 million deal with Boston after just one year earlier this offseason. The star third baseman remains one of the top free agent hitters available, and the Red Sox remain interested in bringing him back.

Last season, Bregman hit .273 with 18 home runs and 62 RBIs as he dealt with injuries, but still had a successful year. He’s a three-time All-Star.

Boston has added pitchers Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo to bolster its rotation, and also traded for first baseman Willson Contreras this offseason.
