Red Sox Unlikely to Trade Alex Bregman After Latest Report

Jun 25, 2025 6:00 AM EDT

After the Boston Red Sox traded away Rafael Devers, the availability of other stars on the team came into question. The biggest name that could be moved is third baseman Alex Bregman.

While there have been rumors and reports about his availability, a new report from Sean McAdam of MassLive.com points towards the All-Star third baseman staying in Boston through the 2025 season.

During a segment with Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com for Fenway Rundown on Twitter/X, McAdam said, “I see next to no chance of Alex Bregman being dealt.”

Bregman would be a hot commodity if he were on the trade block, and would fetch a nice return. But this report from McAdam shuts down the discussions of a Bregman deal.

Part of why he became a name to monitor is that he’s expected to opt out of his current deal after the 2025 season. Bregman, based on his production before getting hurt, was on pace to have an incredible season, which would’ve set him up to surpass his previous deal.

Bregman signed a three-year deal worth $120 million in the offseason, but now, he’s looking to leave after 2025 and secure even more money. With his incredible start to 2025, it might be possible.

Bregman has 2.9 WAR through 51 games and was on an incredible pace. He had 59 hits, 32 runs scored, 17 doubles, 11 home runs, 35 RBIs, 22 walks, and 42 strikeouts in 197 at-bats.

He was batting .299 before the injury, and had an OPS of .938, which would put him in the same range as his All-Star seasons in 2018 and 2019. He’s 31 years old and still showcasing incredible offensive upside after years of decent play in Houston.

Boston, with their current roster, is planning to contend in 2025. Trading away Bregman wouldn’t align with that thought process, and this report from McAdam confirms the Red Sox are planning to contend.

If it were strictly about team building and making the best moves, trading Bregman would be the best path forward. But, after this report, it seems unlikely that the Red Sox will trade Bregman at the trade deadline.
