TRADE BREAKING: Dodgers Linked to Alex Bregman as Potential Free Agent Match

The Los Angeles Dodgers are focused on winning another ring in 2025, but that doesn’t mean the front office isn’t already looking ahead to free agency.

Dodgers Linked to Alex Bregman as Potential Free Agent Match | Dodgers  Nation

While the Dodgers obviously haven’t publicly expressed any potential targets they are eyeing on the free agent market this offseason, MLB insider Jim Bowden linked the Dodgers to Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman.

“His free-agent market should be even more robust than last offseason with the Red Sox joined by the Yankees, Tigers, Astros, Phillies and even the Dodgers; he would be an upgrade for all of them at the hot corner,” Bowden writes.

Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox last winter, but the contract includes opt-outs after each of the first two seasons. Drama ensued with the arrival of Bregman in Boston as he was given the starting job at the hot corner, and the Red Sox opted to move Rafael Devers to designated hitter.

Bregman is hitting .299 with 11 home runs, 35 runs batted in and an OPS of .938. Defensively, he ranks positively in Outs Above Average, per Baseball Savant. The third baseman is a two-time All-Star and World Series Champion, earning both accolades with the Houston Astros.

The Dodgers demonstrated they are not afraid of letting go longtime players as the team cut Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes in the span of a week. Max Muncy is currently the Dodgers’ longest-tenured position player, but his production is certainly a point of concern.

Muncy is hitting .205 with three home runs, 19 RBIs, and a .659 OPS. The former All-Star is struggling defensively as he is in the 2nd percentile in Outs Above Average.

The Dodgers could be looking to upgrade at third base, but it remains to be seen whether Bregman would be considered a good fit given the history he has with L.A.
