Breaking: Alex Bregman Turns Down $200 Million Offer from Red Sox, Now Seeking $400 Million
In a stunning turn of events, star third baseman Alex Bregman has reportedly declined a massive $200 million contract offer from the Boston Red Sox. According to a new report from ESPN Insider, Bregman is now seeking a deal worth $400 million as he prepares for free agency.
The report, confirmed late Monday night, suggests that negotiations between Bregman’s camp and interested teams are heating up. The Red Sox were believed to be one of the frontrunners to land the two-time All-Star and World Series champion. However, sources indicate Bregman and his representatives feel he is worth significantly more than what Boston initially put on the table.
Bregman, who has spent his entire MLB career with the Houston Astros, is considered one of the premier infielders in the game. Despite some ups and downs in recent seasons, his combination of power, plate discipline, and playoff experience continues to make him a top target for big-market teams looking to add an elite bat and veteran leadership.
A $400 million demand would put Bregman in the territory of the largest contracts in baseball history, alongside players like Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Aaron Judge. It remains to be seen which franchises are willing to meet that asking price, but the Yankees, Dodgers, Mets, and Cubs have all been loosely connected to Bregman as potential suitors.
With free agency looming, Bregman is betting big on himself. Whether a team meets his price remains to be seen, but the decision to turn down $200 million signals confidence that a historic payday could be on the horizon.
Stay tuned as more details emerge on what’s shaping up to be one of the most closely watched contract negotiations of the MLB offseason.
