Bregman, the de-facto leader of Houston's modern-day dynasty, agreed to a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night, as first reported by The Athletic's Chandler Rome. Bregman's contract includes player opt-outs after 2025 and 2026.

Alex Bregman says Dustin Pedroia helped recruit him to the Boston Red Sox. Speaking one day after his $120 million, three-year contract was announced, Bregman spoke at a 25-minute news conference.

With the moves the Sox and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow have made this offseason, it’s clear they want a bigger piece of the action.
