Alex Bregman: Is He Overplaying His Hand?
Scott Boras insists substantial interest remains in Alex Bregman, but with spring training approaching, Bregman remains unsigned. Is Boras’s usual hardball tactic backfiring? Is the reported 6-year, $156 million offer from the Astros looking better now than it did a few months ago?
The market seems to have shifted. Teams appear less willing to commit to long-term, high-dollar deals, potentially impacting players like Bregman, Alonso, Flaherty, and Santander. Are we witnessing a fundamental change in how teams approach free agency? Or is this a temporary blip?
Several teams rumored to be interested in Bregman, including the Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Tigers, seem hesitant to offer the long-term deal he seeks. Is Bregman’s insistence on a lengthy contract limiting his options? Should he consider a shorter deal with opt-outs to re-enter the market sooner?
Bregman's performance, while good, hasn't been elite recently. Is he truly a $26 million-per-year player? How much does his past involvement in the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal impact his market value?
Weigh in: What’s Bregman’s most realistic landing spot? What type of contract will he ultimately sign? Is Boras’s strategy helping or hurting his client? Let’s discuss!
