Craig Breslow and the Red Sox have reportedly finally landed the right-handed slugger they’ve been searching for.
According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Red Sox have signed veteran infielder Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract — with the deal including a pair of opt-outs after both the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Wednesday’s news ends a winter rife with reports and rumors linking the Red Sox and Bregman — who previously spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Houston Astros.
While Boston initially expressed interest in Bregman in early December, all parties were reportedly at an impasse for months — with Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reporting in January that the Red Sox were not willing to offer Bregman a deal beyond four seasons.
