Yankees Lead Race for Alex Bregman Amidst Intense Free Agency Battle

Alex Bregman, a top MLB free agent, is being pursued by four teams: the Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers. The Astros have offered him a six-year, $156 million deal, but Bregman seeks closer to $200 million. If signed by the Red Sox, he may switch to second base due to Rafael Devers' presence at third. The Yankees' interest grew after Juan Soto joined the Mets, while the Tigers find Bregman potentially too costly. A decision on Bregman's future is expected soon.
