The Boston Red Sox have gotten pretty much everything they wanted from Alex Bregman, and hope to continue getting that for the future. However, with Bregman being able to opt-out this offseason, that hope may be misplaced.
However, in an interview with WEEI’s Rob Bradford, Bregman’s agent Scott Boras went into detail about where Bregman stands with Boston, and it doesn’t seem too bad.
"We’re at the point now where you wait until the offseason and see what transpires," the agent explained. "Obviously, I think he’s very open about it. He has enjoyed it there. The team has more defined promise than it did a year ago. With free agency, you have to see how things go,” Boras said.

Boras also pointed out that the Sox signing all their young stars to early contracts, and locking down veteran as well, which was good for Bregman as he provided the last piece: Championship leadership.
"They’ve got a couple of great players at very discounted prices by signing them young in their careers," he said, referencing recent contract extensions given to Garrett Crochet, Aroldis Chapman and Roman Anthony. "Normally, when organizations get that … Plus there are other young players coming. They all need championship leadership. When you go back and look at what makes teams successful you go find players who are quality enough at the All-Star level but also have championship leadership and experience which benefits the growth of so many young players,” Boras stated.
Boras also hammered home multiple times the Sox are in a better position than they have been the last five years, which makes it seem like Bregman will likely stay as long as he’s given a deal that’s near what he wants.
