Alex Bregman has been signed with the Boston Red Sox for almost a week now, and yet no one seems ready to move on. Agent Scott Boras reached out by letter to the Detroit Free Press on Monday, claiming that the Detroit Tigers were indeed one of Bregman’s top choices and that Scott Harris had turned down two final contract offers prior to the infielder finally going to Boston.
Evan Petzold of the Freep reports Boras as saying the Red Sox and the Tigers were Bregman’s two top choices. He went out of his way to cool the ire of scorned Tigers fans in a manner that suggests he still wants to keep them in play for the future should Bregman decide to opt-out of his deal with the Red Sox after either the 2025 or 2026 seasons.
