“Alex Bregman has officially opted out of his contract with the Red Sox, per a report from Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. Bregman will return to free agency, leaving the final two years and $80MM (including $40MM in deferred money) of the deal he signed with Boston last offseason on the table,” MLB Trade Rumors' Nick Deeds wrote.

The Boston Red Sox may be eyeing a move that would lighten their outfield overload while freeing Triston Casas for a major trade.
