Red Sox Balked at Price as Cubs Land Alex Bregman

Jon Heyman said Boston wasn’t willing to match the price that landed Bregman in Chicago. After opting out of his Red Sox deal following an .821 OPS season, Bregman drew interest from multiple teams. The Cubs outbid Boston with a five-year, $175M offer after previously falling short near $120M. Bregman’s on-field production and clubhouse impact fueled strong demand for the 32-year-old.
