"Boston Red Sox The Red Sox enter the offseason with some money to spend before entering the luxury tax and could be in play for some top players. MLB's offseason will officially commence on Sunday. Hours after Saturday's World Series Game 7 ends, MLB free agency will technically open. Even though very few deals have historically been agreed to in the days after the World Series, the ball will start rolling soon on some possible offseason moves."
"A handful of players on the Red Sox' 40-man roster will become free agents on Sunday due to their contracts expiring, but they're mostly depth pieces. Outfielder Rob Refsnyder and starting pitcher Dustin May headline the group, while relievers Steven Matz and Justin Wilson will also become free agents. Alex Bregman also seems poised to join that group. The star third baseman is reportedly expected to opt out of the final two years of his three-year, $120 million deal."
"In his first season in Boston, Bregman was arguably the Red Sox' top hitter in 2025. He hit .273 with a .821 OPS, 18 homers, and 62 RBIs in 114 games. Refsnyder has played a key role in the Red Sox' outfield over the last few years, helping spell their lefty-heavy unit. He hit .302 against lefties this past year and has had "informal talks" with the Red Sox about remaining in Boston, The Boston Globe's Alex Speier reported in October."
The MLB offseason officially begins on Sunday when free agency opens after the World Series. The Red Sox have financial flexibility before reaching the luxury tax and could target top players. Several players will reach free agency, including Rob Refsnyder, Dustin May, Steven Matz, Justin Wilson, and possibly Alex Bregman if he opts out of his contract. Bregman hit .273 with a .821 OPS, 18 homers and 62 RBIs in 114 games in 2025. Refsnyder hit .302 against lefties and has had informal talks about remaining. May recorded a 5.40 ERA in six outings before a forearm injury.
