The Boston Red Sox have been heavily linked to arguably the best offensive player remaining on the open market.<\/p>\n

Former Houston Astros All-Star Alex Bregman is out there for the taking in free agency. He has been tied to Boston throughout the offseason so far and clearly has a favorable connection with Boston manager Alex Manager.<\/p>\n

But, what could a deal look like?<\/p>\n

The biggest deal for an infielder so far this offseason has been Willy Adames’ seven-year, $182 million pact with the San Francisco Giants. It also was\u00a0reported by MLB.com’s<\/a>\u00a0Brian McTaggart that the Astros offered Bregman a six-year deal earlier in the offseason worth roughly $156 million over six years. Clearly, that didn’t work at the time.<\/p>\n

Adames is 29 years old and Bregman will be 31 years old at the very beginning of the 2025 season. Because of this, a five or six-year deal seems perfectly fair. Adames got an annual value of $26 million per year over seven years. Bregman is a more accomplished player and World Series champion so his annual value should at least reflect Adames’ or be a tad higher. An annual value of $28 million seems fair in comparison.<\/p>\n

A five-year, $140 million deal would reflect a $28 million annual value and be a significant raise over his five-year, $100 million deal he had with Houston. A six-year, $168 million deal could be a sweet spot above what Houston offered earlier in the offseason without having to touch a seventh year.<\/p>\n

Spotrac projected his value at\u00a0four years, $119 million<\/a>\u00a0which would be a $29.75 million annual value. The Athletic’s Tim Britton predicted his\u00a0eventual deal<\/a>\u00a0to be for seven years and $189 million, or a $27 million annual value.<\/p>\n

There is competition for his services, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see a deal end up higher than Spotrac’s projection, but there isn’t as much leverage with the Astros seemingly out of the sweepstakes. A six-year, $168 million deal with $28 million seems perfectly fair. No matter what, it seems like a six or seven-year deal worth $27-29 million is what it would take to get Bregman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
