At one time this offseason, it appeared the Red Sox could be in the driver’s seat to sign Alex Bregman. Now, things are a bit more complicated.
According to a report from The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier, though, it’s clear Boston’s front office has to shoulder its fair share of the blame for why talks with Bregman have slowed recently.
Speier reported Friday that while the Red Sox still have interest in Bregman, they haven’t been willing to offer a contract longer than four years in length. Bregman has reportedly already been offered five-year contracts from multiple teams, so it’s unlikely a four-year deal from Boston would lure Bregman to Fenway Park this spring.
