Bregman, a two-time All-Star and vital player for the Houston Astros, had previously received offers exceeding $170 million from other teams, notably the Detroit Tigers. However, he ultimately decided to pursue the more lucrative annual average deal with the Red Sox. Speculation about his position indicates that Bregman is expected to play second base for Boston, despite the presence of top prospect Christian Campbell within the organization. The team’s interest in Bregman arose from their need for a strong right-handed bat, with many analysts agreeing that he represents the best remaining option on the market.
