Probably blue jays
Thank God the Bregman saga is over. Good luck to him, and glad we didn't spend that kind of money. Hopefully we still have some flexibility to make some in-season deals to improve

The way this off-season was handled left a horrible taste in my mouth. It was clear to me he had no interest in returning here based off the offers made. I hope Boston fails miserably. Tine 4 Ever
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Very very possible.
Going to miss Bregman. Thanks for all the memories. Now let's go get an outfielder.
It comes down to, can Bregman get a 3/50 after this deal? If not - he lost money. He also lost money if it comes out a bunch is deferred or if the Red Sox can get out early.
I mean, I really can't harbor any ill will. Go get that money.
He was great for us when we needed him and fun to watch. One of the centerpieces of the golden era. And it's each and every kids dream to play for the Sox or Yankees when you're growing up.
Hope he becomes a Yankee killer every time they get together.

The Red Sox GM is an idiot if he's paying $40MM AAV.
And now they have to deal with Devers who has publicly said he doesn't want to leave 3B.
That's a massive financial bullet we dodged.

I need to see details on that deal. Because that's a stupid amount of money for a rapidly aging hitter

That's a lot of salsa! Thanks for the memories Bregs! 2 x World Champ that has never not been in the playoffs.
The Red Sox - Astros ALDS is going to be a lot of fun.

Big move for Boston, which needed to upgrade its offense. There are some deferrals in $40M a year deal. https://t.co/BfnsXkMA1S

Then you'll likely have to part with Arrighetti.
Alex Bregman, a cornerstone of the Houston Astros’ ascension into an American League superpower, is leaving Houston and signing with the Boston Red Sox for a $40 million AAV. - https://t.co/rsuI60jw0Z

Agreed. Absorbing his contract is not smart..... at all

40 million a year for Bregman? That's an early April Fools joke, right?

Not a chance in hell alex opts out of this deal. Boston GM going for broke. Can't wait to see the Devers drama

And there it is. Bregman got the headline. Now let's learn the truth.
I would wager the actual value contract is closer to 3/90.

It says deferreals not incentives. It's guaranteed regardless

My gif reaction to hearing the money termsEastCoastAgNc said:
3/120 is insane to me
Nolan Arrenado can now cross the Boston Red Sox off his list. The Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs were the other finalists for Alex Bregman.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) February 13, 2025
The Blue Jays were never in and Bregman wasn’t going back to Houston.

Good for Breggy. Gonna be pulling for him.
I cant......
Agreed. I appreciate all he did as an Astro. I cheered for him while wearing a Houston jersey, but that is now in the past.
Pulling for him? Lol, that is the job of Boston fan now.
Just say no to Nolan. We don't need an a declining 3rd baseman on a crappy contract. That one makes no sense

Fine by me if it's for Donovan.
I'm with you. I like Spencer but I'm not quite as high on him long term as most.
The new thing is deferred money. More and more teams are going to do this. Want to see the details of the contract. What are the two opt outs?

Not really, at least not lately.
I don't see why it's weird to pull for him at all. It's not personal. Dude was awesome for us and when he's not playing Houston I hope he crushes it.
Agree to disagree there

It's typical Aggie behavior. Pulling for former players at new schools is our thing and weird af.
