Why is Alex Bregman Still Unsigned?
Boston, USATue Jan 14 2025
Last year, the baseball world was buzzing about the Boras Four, a group of top free agents. This year, the focus is on Alex Bregman, a two-time All-Star and World Series champion. Despite his impressive career stats, Bregman is still unsigned. Why is that? Let's dive into the reasons.
First, there are concerns about Bregman's skills. While he's great at making contact, his power might not translate well to other ballparks. Last season, his walk rate dropped, and he became more aggressive at the plate. Teams are worried about his ability to maintain his skills long-term.
Another factor is the chilly market. Only a few teams have spent big this offseason. Bregman doesn't fit well with many of these teams, who already have plenty of infielders. The New York Yankees have shown interest, but nothing has happened yet.
So, where could Bregman end up? The Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, and Toronto Blue Jays are all possibilities. Each team has its own reasons for considering Bregman.
But with the offseason winding down, time is running out. Will Bregman find a new home before spring training starts? Only time will tell.
