Part 2/6:
Alex Bregman has signed a lucrative three-year contract with the Red Sox worth $120 million, which includes opt-outs after each season. This player-friendly deal is a stark contrast to last season when many players were left unsigned as teams hesitated to make long-term commitments. Bregman's situation is particularly noteworthy due to his ability to hit well at Fenway Park, especially with its iconic Green Monster, which positions him for potentially high home run numbers in the coming seasons.
Despite the hefty price tag, there are critiques about Bregman’s deal in the current economic climate, especially considering he’s approaching 30. However, the short-term duration of the contract allows Bregman to still capitalize on his market value should he have a breakout year.
