Reports: Alex Bregman signs with Boston Red Sox

Free agent third-baseman Alex Bregman has signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox, according to Astros beat writer at The Athletic, Chandler Rome.

A source told The Athletic that Bregman’s contract with the Red Sox is for three years and $120 million. He has opt outs for each season.

The news comes after the Houston Astros recently improved their offer to Bregman. Sources told KPRC 2 at the time Bregman was unlikely to accept the improved offer as there was still a gap between what Bregman desired and what the Astros were offering.
