**Summary:**In a surprising turn of events, star third baseman Alex Bregman has opted out of his contract with the Boston Red Sox, becoming a free agent once again. This decision comes after Bregman exercised his player option, seeking a new deal with more immediate compensation and a different financial structure. The Red Sox, who appreciated Bregman's contributions, may not be willing to meet his market price, especially without deferred payments. This move opens up opportunities for the team, including promoting rookie Marcelo Mayer to third base. Bregman's market value will be closely watched, as teams consider his age, injury history, and potential for future injuries.
