More than just a show of generosity, the move has prompted speculation about Bregman’s future with the Red Sox. According to reporting from ESPN's Jeff Passan, the gesture suggests Bregman sees a long-term future in Boston, despite the ability to opt out of his three-year, $120 million contract after this season.

The Red Sox were slated to have all of its Big Three prospects in the lineup on Monday, and Bregman jumped at the chance to share the field with infielders Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer and outfielder Roman Anthony. Even if the young guns poked a little fun at him in the process.
