And Boras was his agent last year, too.
If Bregman gets the $160mill offer, which I assume is over 6 years since they compared it to Matt Chapman, that means he would get $200mill over 7 years. Certainly a good deal. But if he stays in Boston all 3 years, he could equal that with a 4 year $80mill deal. Will that offer be there at age 34? Hard to say. Christian Walker is 3 years older than Bregman (almost to the day) and got a 3 year $60mill contract this off-season.
That $40mill AAV is tough to walk away from. If Bregman opts out, it makes more sense after 2026…
