The New York Yankees are one of the most active teams pursuing free agents this offseason. While their biggest target is Juan Soto, they are still linked to several other free agents, such as Alex Bregman, who is believed to be one of the Yanks’ prime targets.
Bregman has several teams behind him, including the Houston Astros. The Yankees are believed to have the star slugger as a plan B in case they fail to sign Soto. However, Yankees fans are unimpressed with the idea of signing Bregman.
The Yankees reportedly “like” Alex Bregman, and are interested in signing him this winter.

“Oh yay, let’s sign a 30-year-old 3B who’ll be falling apart within the first 3-4 years of the contract. Why can they never show interest in younger talent? Even when it comes to trades. Yanks always opt for these older players,” another fan wrote.

“No I don’t like his fit with the Yankees. I think the Yankees would be better off looking at Adames then Bregman,” one fan chimed in.

As much as I'd like to say yes, I just don't see him in Yankee pinstripes.

Philadelphia Phillies Are Rumored To Pursue Alex Bregman Apart From The Yankees
The Philadelphia Phillies are the latest team rumored to be interested in Alex Bregman. The Phillies are keen on making it to the World Series in 2025, and they could use a player like Bregman to complement their powerful offense.
The Phillies are believed to have placed Alec Bohm on the trade block. Undoubtedly, several teams will pursue Bohm. This could open a way for the Phillies to sign Bregman. Adding a well-experienced player like Bregman is highly possible for the Phillies.
It’s also worth noting that Bregman has great postseason experience, which the team could use. The Phillies president, Dave Dombrowski, has been keen on adding star players. With several teams emerging for Bregman, his demand is expected to grow.
