What's going on with Alex Bregman and the Boston Red Sox? A new report provides insight into why talks have stalled.

One of Craig Breslow's biggest mistakes is magnified in a big way thanks to the Boston Red Sox failing to sign Alex Bregman.

“The Sox have remained engaged on Bregman, but multiple sources said as of earlier this week, the team’s interest had been in a deal of no more than four years,” writes Spier. “For now, it seems unlikely Bregman would accept a contract of that length.”

As they look to complete their offseason upgrade by adding a right-handed bat, the Boston Red Sox appear to be playing a game of chicken with the most sought-after righty hitter still available on the free agent market.

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers.

By offering four years or less, the Sox are basically saying they don’t believe Bregman will be good in 2030, the last year of his projected five-year contract. They will miss out on four good years of a righty slugger with a great glove, just because there’s a chance in his fifth year he won’t be as good.

The Boston Red Sox have been linked to two-time World Series champion Alex Bregman throughout the offseason, but with Boston's resistance to give out a five-year deal to the Houston Astros free agent, they probably won't bring him in.
