Alex Bregman has been with the Red Sox for less than a month and might not be with them for more than one year. His three-year, $120 million deal permits him to opt out and return to the open market after the 2025 or 2026 season.
Yet Bregman does not come across as a tumbleweed whose presence is transient. To the contrary, he’s quickly forged roots that extend beyond the big league team all the way to the lowest rungs of the minors. The Bregman Effect is real … and obvious.
“I’m always careful not to speak so glowingly about the Bregman Effect that you forget he’s a really productive player on the field, because he is,” said chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. “But in terms of all the other [off-field] stuff, it is as advertised or better than advertised in terms of the impact that he can have based on the combination of really strong knowledge of the game and what matters and what drives wins, and the ability to create relationships really, really quickly.”
