Alex Bregman’s Stellar Season Fuels Speculation of Yankees Pursuit in Free Agency

The Red Sox third baseman is widely expected to opt out of his $120 million deal after 2025, positioning him as a top target for teams like the Yankees, who have a glaring need at third base.

BRONX, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 21: New York Yankee general manager Brian Cashman speaks to the media during a press conference at Yankee Stadium on December 21, 2022 in Bronx, New York.
BOSTON, MA - MAY 19: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox doubles in the third inning against the New York Mets at Fenway Park on May 19, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Overview

  • Alex Bregman is excelling offensively this season, batting .304 with 11 home runs, solidifying his value as one of MLB’s top third basemen.
  • Bregman’s three-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox includes an opt-out clause after the 2025 season, which insiders predict he will exercise.
  • MLB insider Jim Bowden identifies the New York Yankees as a leading contender for Bregman in free agency, given their unresolved third-base vacancy.
  • The Yankees’ current third-base situation has been further complicated by injuries, leaving them without a long-term solution at the position.
  • Bregman’s past involvement in the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal could influence fan reactions, particularly if he moves to a rival team like the Yankees.
