When is enough lol? He played well last year and I thought could finish his career strong and make a case for the HOF.
He'll probably re-up with them for a longer term deal, even bigger money in overall value. They loved him and he loved being there from everything I've seen and read.
...doesn't Reagan have one more year of graduate school also? I will be surprised if he leaves Boston, but it also wouldn't surprise me if he ends up in Arizona. Did not realize... 1) he played catcher in high school, and 2) was originally drafted out of high school by the Red Sox. https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=265518 Bregman's scouting report as catcher (from high school): Also catches, raw footwork but quick hands and feet, playable arm strength, 1.87 best pop, will keep improving with repetitions. 93rd percentile - pop time... We could do the funniest thing.
After a pretty solid year, he's betting he'll get more than the $80m he was guarnteed when he hits the market - he's probably right. He may not get more per year but a longer contract/total value.
Trade Pena, sign Bregman, what could go wrong? If they traded Pena, Sanchez, Dubon, Walker, and Urias, they’d probably create enough payroll space to sign Bregman and a BoR SP. Pena could bring back a cheap controllable SP, a good RP, and a prospect to boost the farm. 3B Bregman 1B Paredes DH Alvarez SS Correa 2B Altuve C Diaz RF Smith LF Cole CF Meyers Bench: Dezenzo, Salazar, Melton, TBD AAAA SS SP: Brown, Pena trade, TBD FA, Javier, Arrighetti, Blubaugh RP: Hader, Abreu, Sousa, TBD trade, King, Okert
