Alex Bregman, Red Sox Haven't Begun Extension Talks
Alex Bregman (quadriceps) has not begun contract extension talks with the team, Rob Bradford of WEEI reports. Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox last winter, but the deal contains opt-outs after this season and the 2026 campaign. If the Red Sox don't sign Bregman to a new contract by the July 31 trade deadline, and if they expect the Scott Boras client to test free agency again in the offseason, they could deal him over the next three weeks. Bregman has made a case for a richer pact this year by slashing a robust .299/.385/.553 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI in 226 plate appearances. While the three-time All-Star hasn't played since May 23 because of a strained right quadriceps, the Red Sox will activate him this weekend. With his future uncertain, Bregman will be an intriguing player to watch leading up to the deadline.
