Part 9/11:
Contract & Performance:
Kylie McDaniel estimates Bregman could command a 5-year, $160 million deal—roughly $32 million per year. Last season, he posted a .273 average, an 821 OPS, and 18 homers.
Why Bregman Fits:
Integral to Boston’s core in 2023; a proven leader and consistent hitter.
Fantastic at third base, with good defense and veteran presence.
Demonstrated resilience from injury and remains one of the most reliable infielders.
Addressing Concerns:
Critics cite supposed injury proneness, but McDaniel notes just one injury in four years—hardly a red flag.
Questions about his age are often overstated, especially given his consistent production.
