The Boston Purple Sox misplaced one in every of their finest gamers this offseason after they did not re-sign Alex Bregman in free company, and lots of followers are offended that the staff allowed its star third baseman to go away.
The most recent feedback from Purple Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy solely added to that frustration. Bregman signed a five-year, $175M contract with the Chicago Cubs in January. The deal features a full no-trade clause.

On Sunday, Kennedy was requested about shedding Bregman to the Cubs. He started by praising the three-time MLB All-Star.
„We’re so grateful to Alex Bregman and what he meant to us. However, look, ultimately when you’ve got decisions the way in which he did, you’re employed actually exhausting to be able to turn into a free agent and carry out at that degree,“ Kennedy stated. „He selected a distinct path and we want him nicely. We’re wanting ahead to seeing him on the finish of the season at Fenway.“
Kennedy was then requested if the Purple Sox have an organizational coverage to not give out full or partial no-trade clauses. He brushed the query off and stated it was Bregman’s selection to go away.
„No. Look, if Alex Bregman wished to be right here, in the end he’d be right here,“ Kennedy replied.
