Details Of Red Sox' Pursuit Of Alex Bregman
MLB Trade Rumors••sports
Key Points:
- Alex Bregman has signed a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, turning down a five-year, $165 million offer from the Boston Red Sox that included significant deferrals and lacked a full no-trade clause.
- The Red Sox's refusal to grant Bregman a no-trade clause, citing organizational policy, was a key factor in his decision, as he values stability for his family after moving cities in recent years.
- Boston's financial offer was competitive but less favorable than Chicago’s, partly due to a decades-long deferred payment schedule that reduced its overall value compared to the Cubs' deal.
- With Bregman gone, the Red Sox may pursue other top infielders like Bo Bichette, though
