Alex Bregman has officially joined the Boston Red Sox in Fort Myers, Florida, as the team kicks off Spring Training.

The highly anticipated move comes after Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox, which includes two opt-outs after the 2025 and 2026 seasons ¹.

 

Bregman’s arrival in Fort Myers marks a significant boost to the Red Sox lineup, which has been revamped this offseason with the additions of pitchers Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler. The 30-year-old third baseman brings a wealth of experience and a championship pedigree, having won two World Series titles with the Houston Astros.

 

Red Sox manager Alex Cora is thrilled to have Bregman on board, citing his impressive work ethic and dedication to the game. “He’s a kid that I really respect,” Cora said. “The way he goes about his business, the way he prepares, it reminds me a lot of Dustin Pedroia” ².

 

Bregman’s contract details have also been revealed, with the third baseman set to receive a $5 million signing bonus and a $35 million salary for 2025. He’ll earn $40 million salaries for 2026 and 2027, if he doesn’t opt out after either of the next two seasons ¹.

 

The Red Sox are expected to contend for a playoff spot in 2025, and Bregman’s addition has significantly improved their chances. The team’s postseason odds have shifted dramatically, with FanDuel Sportsbook now listing them at +2500 to win the World Series and +1000 to win the American League ¹.

 

As Bregman settles into his new surroundings, he’ll be looking to build chemistry with his new teammates. The Red Sox will play their first Spring Training game against the Northeastern Huskies on February 21st, and Bregman is expected to be in the lineup ³.

 

The Red Sox’s offseason has been marked by significant moves, and Bregman’s signing is the latest example of the team’s commitment to contending in 2025. With a revamped lineup and a deep pitching staff, the Red Sox are poised to make a deep run in the playoffs.

 

*What’s Next for the Red Sox?*

 

– _Solidifying the Rotation_: The Red Sox may still look to add another starter or reliever to bolster their depth.

– _Bolstering the Bullpen_: The Red Sox have made significant additions to their bullpen, but they may still look to add another arm or two to solidify their relief corps.

– _Making a Trade_: The Red Sox have been active on the trade market this offseason, and it’s possible that they could make another move before the season starts ².
