BOSTON FANS REACT WITH FURY AFTER ALEX BREGMAN OPTS FOR A MOVE TO CHICAGO
Alex Bregman heads to Chicago on a 5-year, $175M deal. We analyse the fallout for the Red Sox and their failed third base strategy.
Well, that’s it for the Alex Bregman sweepstakes, and the Red Sox came up empty. ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news Saturday night: the Cubs landed Bregman with a five-year, $175 million deal. Boston just watched another top free agent slip away.
Red Sox fans are already frustrated after missing out on Pete Alonso and having to settle for Willson Contreras. Now, losing Bregman has only made things worse. He was one of the biggest bats available this offseason—coming off a .273 average, 18 home runs, 28 doubles, and an .821 OPS in 114 games. But it wasn’t just about his numbers. Bregman brought leadership and postseason experience, exactly what people say Boston’s been missing since 2018—whether they made the playoffs or not.
Yeah, it stings. But if you squint, there’s still a little hope buried under all the bad news.
Bregman to the Cubs just feels like another gut punch for Boston fans. Critics aren’t letting it go, especially when you remember what happened last season with Rafael Devers. When the Red Sox signed Bregman in early 2025, Devers got pushed off third base and into a DH role—a move he never wanted. That broke the bond between Devers and the team, and by mid-June, Boston shipped him to the Giants for not much in return. A franchise icon, gone. Two of the guys they got back, James Tibbs III and Jordan Hicks, didn’t pan out or were traded away.
So now, looking back, Boston made room for Bregman by trading away a homegrown star—and Bregman’s gone after less than a year. It just highlights how inconsistent this front office has been. When Breslow took over in late 2023, the team barely made any moves. Their only big signing was Lucas Giolito—a gamble at two years, $38 million, especially after the rough season he’d just had.
Then, 2024 brought a different approach. Breslow traded for Garrett Crochet, who almost won the Cy Young in 2025. The Red Sox gave Bregman a three-year, $140 million contract. At first, it seemed like a win—Bregman was happy, and fans were happy. But things changed fast. Boston didn’t extend him midseason, and Bregman decided to use his opt-out after just one year.
Now, social media is full of angry fans wondering if the front office or ownership even cares about winning a title. People keep pointing out how the Red Sox traded Devers to make room for Bregman, and now they have neither. The team basically created its own mess at third base.
To be fair, Boston did make a strong push for Bregman and reportedly offered close to $170 million. They just got outbid again. That’s not for lack of trying, but it shows their financial approach just isn’t keeping up in a league where other teams will spend big to win.
And honestly, this isn’t the Boston Red Sox people remember. Bo Bichette wants $300 million… But if the Red Sox wouldn’t pay $175 million for Bregman, why would they go after Bichette? The answer’s simple: they won’t. Or, at best, they’ll get outbid again.
But hey, there’s still some light at the end of the tunnel. The Red Sox have a top-10 farm system. Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell are waiting in the wings. It’s not like the team will suddenly fall apart—and both guys have been putting in serious work. Campbell’s packed on muscle, and Mayer’s been grinding in the gym with Roman Anthony and Jarren Duran. These guys could actually make some noise in the lineup soon. With Anthony coming back, things could get interesting.
Sure, losing Bregman hurts. But Boston has no choice except to look at what’s next, and honestly, the options aren’t bad. Even without Bregman, the future’s still bright—people have been saying it since July, right when extension talks stopped.
"GIVE ME THE FINE": WHY JAYLEN BROWN RISKED $35,000 TO DEFEND THE CELTICS
Jaylen Brown is $35,000 lighter. Discover the full details of the Celtics star's fiery rant against NBA refs after the Spurs' loss.
Just a few days after telling reporters he’d take the hit for calling out NBA refs, Celtics star Jaylen Brown got slapped with a $35,000 fine.
James Jones, who runs basketball ops for the NBA, handed down the penalty on Monday, blaming Brown’s “public criticism of the officiating.”
Brown’s making $53 million this season, so let’s be real, he’s not losing sleep over the fine. Still, fans had his back. They jumped in online, saying stuff like, “It’s pocket change for him, but it still sucks.” Plenty of people chimed in with, “They always penalise honesty.”
After Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, Brown didn’t hold back. Boston only got four free throws in a 100-95 loss, while the Spurs went 14-for-20 from the line. Brown told reporters, “I’ll accept the fine at this point,” and then let loose. “I thought it was some bull *** tonight. They’re a good defensive team, but they aren’t that damn good. I hope somebody pulls up the clips because it’s the same s*** every time we play a good team. They refuse to make a call, then call touch fouls on the other end. It’s just extremely frustrating, bro. Every time we play a good team, the inconsistency is crazy. I’ll take the fucking fine.”
He even called out one of the refs by name. “Curtis and all those dudes were terrible tonight. I don’t care. They can fine me whatever they want.”
The NBA loves to fine players for profanity, especially in interviews. Just recently, Jalen Green from the Suns got hit with a $25,000 fine for cursing during a teammate’s postgame interview.
Boston coach Joe Mazzulla also got heated with the refs that night, and you could see the frustration all over the court. At the end of the day, though, $35,000 is a drop in the bucket for Brown, who’s already earned over $200 million in his career. One Knicks fan joked, “The fine is a teacher’s salary. This world isn’t real.”
Celtics fans mostly sided with Brown. “He’s not wrong!” was a common refrain. But some people pointed out that Boston’s love affair with the three-point line could be a reason for the lack of free-throw attempts. Both teams shot 44 threes in that game. Someone else wrote, “When you shoot 60 threes a game, you tend to get fewer free throws than the other team.”
Boston actually averages 42.8 threes per game—second only to the Warriors. So, maybe there’s something to that. Either way, Brown said his piece, took the fine, and moved on.
YANKEES CONTACT CUBS ABOUT NICO HOERNER FOLLOWING ALEX BREGMAN’S $175M SIGNING
The Yankees are targeting Nico Hoerner! After the Cubs signed Alex Bregman, New York is moving fast to upgrade their middle infield.
The Yankees have been almost too quiet this offseason, which is frustrating if you’re a fan waiting for fireworks. Still, they’re not just sitting around. They’ve checked in with the Cubs about Nico Hoerner and even put an offer out for Cody Bellinger.
There’s more. Carlos Lagrange, their young pitcher, just cracked the top 10 list for right-handed pitching prospects in all of baseball. People are starting to see him as a future star. But let’s get into the main stories.
New York’s front office seems to have switched gears after the Cubs grabbed Alex Bregman. That signing opened up a possible trade path, and the Yankees wasted no time targeting Hoerner for the infield. Honestly, it’s a pretty clear sign they’re done ignoring Anthony Volpe’s struggles—he just hasn’t delivered at shortstop, either at the plate or in the field, and the team knows it can’t afford weak links if it wants to win now.
Hoerner isn’t flashy, but he’s steady. He makes contact, plays Gold Glove defence, and runs the bases hard. He’s the type of player who shows up every day and does his job. Sure, he won’t come cheap—the Cubs will want a top pitching prospect—but the Yankees seem ready to pay for some reliability.
At the plate, Hoerner’s not a slugger, but he’s consistent. He’s finished the last five years with a wRC+ between 102 and 109, which tells you exactly what you’re getting.
On the Bellinger front, things are stuck. The Yankees put a hefty $160 million offer on the table because they love how much he brings on both sides of the ball. But they’re refusing to go to seven years, and they’re not budging. With other contracts around the league backing them up, the Yankees are playing hardball. Now it’s just a waiting game—either Scott Boras blinks, or the Yankees move on. Even though both sides would like to make it work, the team’s preparing for life without Bellinger just in case.
Now, about Carlos Lagrange. He’s become impossible to overlook. The kid throws 103 mph, and he’s shot up the rankings into the top 10 right-handed pitching prospects. Not bad for someone who flew under the radar not long ago. His fastball is electric, and his other pitches keep getting better.
He still needs to work on his command, but scouts are excited about his changeup and breaking stuff. There’s a real chance he hits the majors by 2026, maybe even sooner if he keeps improving this fast. Whether he ends up in the Yankees’ rotation or gets moved in a big trade, Lagrange has made the team’s pitching depth a whole lot stronger.
