The Boston Red Sox seem unlikely to finalize a contract extension with Alex Bregman before the end of the 2025 season. Although Bregman’s agent, Scott Boras, was initially hopeful that negotiations might start during the season, Bregman himself has made it clear that his main priority right now is helping the team win and secure a playoff spot. Through 313 plate appearances in 2025, Bregman has been an offensive powerhouse, hitting .298/.380/.531 with 14 home runs and posting a 148 weighted runs created plus (wRC+), his best since 2019 when he finished second in AL MVP voting with a 167 wRC+. Boston’s chief baseball officer, Craig Breslow, has praised Bregman’s impact both on the field and in the clubhouse.
