Along with his impressive offensive numbers, Bregman also brings gold glove defense at the hot corner. He ranked in the 91st percentile for Outs Above Average (6) in 2024 and was rewarded with his first gold glove at third.
Whether or not the Mets move on their interest is to be seen. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported earlier this offseason that Bregman was seeking an eight-year deal, north of $200 million. It seems high, but, if the Mets want Bregman, Alexander reports that the cost wouldn’t stop them.
“In terms of affording a potential $200 million deal for Bregman after the Juan Soto signing,” Alexander wrote,” those within the industry characterize the Mets as more interested in getting what they want than trying to adhere to any sort of budget.”
