After months of speculation, the Boston Red Sox and ex-Houston Astros third baseman\u00a0Alex Bregman have agreed to a three-year, $120 million contract<\/a>, ending a months-long sweepstakes that also saw the Chicago Cubs\u00a0and the Detroit Tigers<\/a>\u00a0pursue the Gold Glove-winning player.<\/p>\n

During his introductory presser on Sunday, Bregman shared a bit more about what motivated him to sign with the club, including the fact he believes this is a “winning organization.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

“I’m a winning player. This is a winning organization,” Bregman\u00a0told reporters<\/a>. “Those players are winning players. We have winning coaches here. I plan on winning here after talking with some of the guys over the last two days. I can see that there’s something special here.”<\/p>\n

As ESPN’s Jeff Passan notes<\/a>, such a manner of speaking would seem to suggest Bregman’s intent is to stick around Boston, even though he has opt-outs after each of his first two seasons. It’s also a confident endorsement about what the World Series winner seems to think will be a successful run, a great note on which to start considering the Red Sox have only made the playoffs once in the past six years.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He surely makes a lot of sense in Boston\u2014the front office was able to pay him what he desired and he’ll prove instrumental in shoring up the team’s offense. It’s really a win-win for both parties … but we’ll have to see if they can\u00a0actually<\/em>\u00a0win when the time comes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
