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.

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 made a franchise-altering move by trading Rafael Devers. The future of their infield may hang on Alex Bregman's player option.
