Yankees lose World Series-caliber free agent infielder to rival Red Sox

The Yankees have been patient this offseason when it comes to adding another impact bat, but on Wednesday night, they watched their biggest rival land one of the best infielders on the market.

Alex Bregman agreed to a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, a deal that includes two opt-outs and an average annual value of $30 million. The Yankees still have an open spot at third base, and while they remain in a strong position overall, the Red Sox just made themselves a much tougher opponent in 2025.

A Short-Term Gamble Pays Off for Boston

The Red Sox have had an aggressive offseason, and landing Bregman is their biggest move yet.
