Alex Bregman Predicted To Leave Red Sox For Tigers In Too Early Chatter

Once the 2025 Major League Baseball season ends -- whether this World Series glory or missing the playoffs entirely -- the most pressing question for the Boston Red Sox is going to be whether or not they can bring Alex Bregman back.

This is a topic that has been discussed for months at this point. He has an opt-out in his deal and has made it clear that his focus is on winning games for the Red Sox rather than his contractual future. He has said this consistently. Most recently, while joining NESN's Tom Caron and the Boston Globe's Alex Speier on NESN's "310 To Left" podcast.

"You're right, it's not," Bregman said about the opt-out being on his mind. "I'm focused on winning games."

His future may not be on his mind, but it has been on the mind of Red Sox fans and baseball pundits alike. Arguably, the most likely option for Bregman seems to be returning to Boston. The Red Sox have made Bregman a priority and clearly like him to the point where they were willing to pay him $40 million per year and give him the opt-outs anyway. The team has talked about how much they love Bregman and with Rafael Devers gone, it's hard to believe someone will outbid Boston for Bregman unless some sort of insane deal pops up. Plus, with Bregman slumping down the stretch, will he even opt out of a guaranteed $40 million per year over the next two years?

Right now, everything is just noise, because again, Bregman has said he's not thinking about it yet. But, people have tried to make predictions about what will happen -- as is typically the case across professional sports. Bleacher Reports' Zach Buckley shared a prediction that the Red Sox will lose Bregman to the Detroit Tigers.
