2025 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Analysis
Bregman's decision to pass on his $40 million player options for the 2026 and 2027 seasons had been considered a foregone conclusion. He is not going to net that amount on an annual basis on the free-agent market, but the 31-year-old has eyes on a lucrative long-term contract. Bregman slashed .273/.360/.462 with 18 homers over 114 regular-season games in 2025 with Boston. The Red Sox are likely to be aggressive in their efforts to re-sign the third baseman, but Bregman will have many suitors.

Stat Review
How does Alex Bregman compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Bregman is entering into the final year of his current contract, and it could be a rather interesting year if new manager Joe Espada makes the obvious tweak in the lineup. Should Espada finally move Kyle Tucker into the 2nd spot and then use Bregman in between Tucker and Yordan Alvarez, Bregman would arguably be the best positioned hitter in baseball. The insulation of the talent in front of him and the threat behind him would put him in great position to once again drive in 100+ runs, something he has not done in the previous three full seasons. Bregman is a rarity in this modern game as a player who walks more often than he strikes out, but that success translates more to his on-base skills (.373 career) than his batting average (.274 career.) Bregman also is more at home facing fellow righties than lefties the past two seasons but his home/road splits aren't as extreme as one might believe. We'll go out on a limb and state that should Bregman hit third this season, he will win the AL MVP.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Return to Boston seems likely
Bregman could return to the Red Sox on a new deal for the 2026 season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Bregman left $80 million on the table when he opted out of his deal ahead of free agency following the end of the 2025 season. He's not expected to get anywhere close to $40 million per year in a new deal, but the veteran third baseman had an excellent start and should sign a hefty new contract either way. A return to the Red Sox seems likely since the other teams that could've used his services have already found reliable answers at the hot corner.
