Alex Bregman and his family, including his wife Reagan and their two sons, Knox and Bennett, have decided to opt out of the 2025 MLB All-Star game scheduled for July 15 at Truist Park. Bregman is currently sidelined due to a right quadriceps strain, impacting his ability to participate. During this time, Knox’s charming Polaroid-style photo has captured widespread attention from fans and followers.
Knox captures a special moment ahead of the All-Star game
On Sunday, Reagan shared several photos, with one standing out among the rest. The picture, taken by their son Knox, shows Alex and Reagan smiling warmly in a Polaroid format. The image also includes a colorful toddler book titled Let’s Learn Vehicles, indicating Knox’s presence behind the camera. Reagan’s caption read, “all star game ’25 ☀️.” alongside a note, “[captured] by Knox.” This tender family moment has drawn attention amidst the preparations for the All-Star event.
Bregman was originally named to the All-Star roster as a reserve infielder, marking his third All-Star selection. However, due to his injury and subsequent opt-out, his spot has been filled by Junior Caminero from the Tampa Bay Rays.

“Good Morning,” she captioned the snap.
This snapshot coincided with news of Alex Bregman’s imminent return to the field following a six-week recovery from his quadriceps injury. Bregman rejoined the Boston Red Sox lineup on Friday in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays and also featured in the subsequent Saturday match.
Current performance and contract talks amid trade season
Before the injury, Bregman was performing strongly, having played 51 games with a slash line of .299/.385/.553, including 11 home runs and 35 RBIs. His return comes at a significant time as the Red Sox and Bregman are engaged in contract discussions ahead of the trade deadline. Currently under a three-year, $120 million contract with an opt-out clause after this season, the team is keen on securing him for the long term.
Following the recent trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, the Red Sox are motivated to retain Bregman. However, if negotiations do not conclude favorably, a trade could remain a possibility as the organization plans for its roster moving forward.
Looking ahead: What the future holds for Bregman and the Red Sox
Alex Bregman’s recovery and return have significant implications for the Red Sox’s performance and strategy this season. His absence was felt during his injury, but his return offers a boost to the team’s infield and offense. Family moments captured by Reagan and Knox highlight the personal side behind Bregman’s professional journey, bringing a relatable warmth to the ongoing sports narrative. With contract talks still unfolding, the coming weeks will determine how the Red Sox position themselves going forward, balancing player health, team composition, and long-term commitments.
