Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman will reportedly opt out of his contract and become a free agent this winter.
Bregman will forgo the two years and $80 million remaining on the deal he signed with the Red Sox before this season in order to test the waters, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

Bregman, 31, had a strong first season in Boston, slashing .273/.360/.462 in 114 games and earning his third career All-Star selection.
He suffered an injury that hampered the 31-year-old in the final stretch of the regular season, but figures to be one of the premier free agent infielders on the market this summer.
