Bregman's nine-year run in Houston came to an end last winter when he signed with Boston, but he opted out of that contract in November to return to free agency. Coming off a career-worst .768 OPS in 2024, the third baseman rebounded to a .273/.360/.462 slash line last season, though he finished with 18 homers -- his lowest total since 2021 -- and was limited to 114 games due to a quadriceps strain. Bregman's elite plate discipline was on display with a 10.5 percent walk rate and 14.1 percent strikeout rate, and his power remained consistent with a .189 ISO, which is exactly his average ISO over the past four years. Durability is a concern with Bregman entering his age-32 campaign, but it's worth noting that he had three straight years of at least 145 games played prior to 2025. His 125 wRC+ ranked tied-fourth among third baseman with at least 400 plate appearances in 2025, and Bregman should be in that range again in 2026 and will have plenty of upside if he can stay fairly healthy.
