Bregman's contract, relationship with his teammates and the Red Sox's current playoff position make it very unlikely he'll be dealt in July.

The Boston Red Sox have not met expectations so far, but are still in a position to make the postseason. They should be getting Alex Bregman back soon.

Despite missing the last month-plus with a strained right quad, the 31-year-old—who signed with Boston in February—has been a leader in the clubhouse for young prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony, and was named an All-Star this past weekend for the first time since 2019. Needless to say, he's worthy of an extension.
