The Boston Red Sox could've done the unthinkable with Alex Bregman, but thankfully kept him away from the Los Angeles Dodgers post-Max Muncy injury.

The Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three year, $120MM contract this offseason. In reality, it's a series of one year deals at $40MM per year. Bregman has the opportunity to opt out at the end of this season and it's highly likely that he will. That is, unless he signs an extension with the Red Sox. Here's what Bowden wrote:

If the Boston Red Sox fail to finalize an extension, Alex Bregman may be traded at the deadline, with the Tigers and the Mariners emerging as top spots.
