Alex Bregman, the remaining FA's biggest third baseman, has set the Boston Red Sox as his new nest.
Local media such as MLB.com reported on the 13th (Korea time) that the Red Sox agreed to a three-year, $120 million contract with FA infielder Alex Bregman' and that they also set up a clause that allows them to exercise their opt-out rights at the end of this year and next season'
Bregman was fifth in the 'Top 25 FA Rankings" by MLB.com at the start of the offseason. He was the only non-contracter among them, and it was reported that he recently held last-minute negotiations with Boston, the Chicago Cubs, and the Detroit Tigers, and finally chose Boston.
MLB.com explained that "Bregman was offered more than $170 million in offers from multiple clubs on a six-year contract, but chose Boston's offer with a relatively high average annual salary (AAV) and an opt-out."
According to other media ESPN, Bregman, who rejected the original Houston Astros' six-year $156 million offer in the early days of the market, recently declined Detroit's offer of $171 million (about 247.7 billion won) for six years. In other words, he seems to have decided to re-enter the FA after accepting the Boston offer with the opt-out clause.

Boras, who wrapped up the contract of Bregman, one of the biggest customers this offseason, set a new record for the single-offseason sales he has. Until this day, Boras Corporation has signed a total of $1.674.72 million (about 2.4282 trillion won) in contracts for 16 FA this offseason.
This is the fourth time Boras has signed a contract worth more than $1 billion in the offseason. It marked $1.079.5 billion in 2020, $1.119.3 billion in 2022, and $1.2175 billion in 2023, respectively. Sales in 2024, the previous offseason, were only $496.35 million, but this winter shook the market as if nothing had happened.

In terms of the size of the total FA market, borascography accounts for more than half. The total amount of FA contracts for 91 FA players, including right-handers Nick Pivetta and Bregman, who agreed to a four-year, $55 million contract with the San Diego Padres, is $3.23875 million. Of these, 51.7% are by Boras 'work'.
Meanwhile, Boston has to solve Bregman's position problem in this spring training because Rafael Devers is holding out as the existing third baseman. Since his Major League debut in 2016, he has started 977 games and 107 games at shortstop as a third baseman. After 2020, I only saw third baseman. However, he expressed his intention to move to second base after undergoing surgery to remove bone fragments in his right elbow after last season.
