On Thursday, the list of nominees at each position for the 2025 Silver Slugger Awards were announced, and free agent third baseman Alex Bregman was the only member of the 2025 Red Sox to receive a nomination.

Among all American League third basemen with at least 450 plate appearances this past season, he ranked fifth in batting average (.273), tied for first in OBP (.360), third in slugging percentage (.462), fourth in home runs (18), and sixth in RBI (62).

The 31-year-old is likely a longshot to win the award, going up against fellow nominees Junior Caminero of the Rays and José Ramírez of the Guardians, both of whom had better start-to-finish seasons than the two-time World Series champion.

Bregman’s numbers were better (.299/.385/.553) before suffering an injury to his quad while trying to leg out a single against the Orioles in May, forcing him to miss seven weeks in the middle of the summer. Upon his return, Bregman never completely bounced back to prior form, posting a .250/.338/.386 slash line to finish out the season.

Bregman receiving this nomination is just another interesting wrinkle in the ongoing saga of his free agency this offseason, with the Scott Boras client opting out of his three-year deal with the Red Sox after one season, leaving $80 million on the table over the next two years in search of a longer term deal that could, potentially, pay him even more money.
