RIVALRY ON HOLD: Alex Bregman Sends Simple Message to Cody Bellinger Amid Yankees Rumors.vc

ARIZONA, USA – In a surprising moment of offseason camaraderie, Boston Red Sox star free agent Alex Bregman sent a simple but potent public message to New York Yankees free agent Cody Bellinger, reinforcing the unique dynamic between two of the market’s biggest names.

Despite the fierce rivalry between the Red Sox and Yankees—the teams both players finished the 2025 season with—Bregman’s comment showed genuine respect, coming right as the Yankees are heavily favored to re-sign Bellinger.

The Message: “Dialed 💪”

The interaction occurred on social media after Bellinger, who is widely rumored to be on the verge of re-signing with the Yankees, posted photos of his intense offseason training regimen in Arizona.

Bregman, who is also training in Arizona, responded to Bellinger’s post with a simple, encouraging message: “Dialed 💪.”

While the message didn’t contain the headline-grabbing phrase “See You Soon?”, the friendly interaction between the two key free agents of the American League East rivalry underscores a key reality of the 2026 offseason:

• Shared Agent: Both Bregman and Bellinger are represented by agent Scott Boras, meaning they are highly familiar with each other’s market strategies and training schedules.
• The Rivalry Line: Though they played for bitter rivals in 2025, their shared experiences and training during the offseason override the on-field rivalry, at least for now.

The Yankees/Red Sox Free Agent Dilemma

The interaction comes at a critical time, as both players are at the center of their respective teams’ offseason plans, with neither player’s future guaranteed:

• Cody Bellinger (Yankees): After a strong 2025 campaign, Bellinger is reportedly the “clear favorite” to re-sign with the Yankees on a projected six-year, $160 million-plus deal.
• Alex Bregman (Red Sox): Bregman opted out of his contract with the Red Sox, but re-signing him remains a “primary goal” for Boston after he posted a .273 batting average and .821 OPS for them last season.

The friendly exchange suggests that regardless of where they land—whether Bellinger stays in the Bronx and Bregman returns to Boston, or if they both jump to new clubs—they will continue to be two of the most scrutinized players in the league.
