Since going down with his quad injury, news has surfaced that Bregman would consider signing an extension or a new contract with the Red Sox before the end of the season. The New York Post's Jon Heyman reported that "both sides wouldn't mind getting something done," though discussions haven't yet been held.

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported on that extension possibility on Sunday, including the fact that the two sides haven't yet broached the topic. Heyman also spelled out what such a deal could cost the Red Sox, referencing the offer the superstar turned down to sign with the Detroit Tigers.

The Boston Red Sox get the first chance to reach a long-term extension with star third baseman Alex Bregman, and the organization must lock him down.

The Boston Red Sox have some important decisions to make in the coming weeks, centered around Alex Bregman's future. His latest contract update could mean some players will have to be let go.

Six relievers followed injured Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins, who came off the IL before the game only to leave in the second inning. Bregman was 1 for 4 with a double in his first game back from a quad injury.

Even after the Red Sox shed Rafael Devers and the remainder of his $300 million contract, making room for that kind of deal could mean parting ways with some remaining members of the team. And FanSided's Zachary Rotman predicted that would include outfielder Jarren Duran.
