Alex Bregman, Red Sox third baseman, has opted out of his contract and become a free agent after a bounce-back season.
He hit .273 with 18 home runs in Boston, recovering from a previous season where he hit .260.
Bregman was signed to a 3-year, $120 million contract, which led to controversy as Rafael Devers was asked to move positions and eventually got traded.
Despite a second half slump and a quad injury, the 31-year-old will have suitors in free agency.
