After eight years with the Houston Astros, he decided to say goodbye to the MLB franchise.<\/p>\n<p>His position as a free agent warned many potential suitors, including a six-year deal with the $171.5 million Detroit Tigers that Bregman rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the 31-year-old decided to accept a $120 million offer for three years with the Boston Red Sox.

It was clear that Detroit supporters hadn&#8217;t moved forward from his decision to join Boston.<\/p>\n<p>The Boston Red Sox star revealed that he was not surprised by the response, and while he was asked about the reception in Detroit, he received a very respectable approach, but insisted that joining the Red Sox was not a &#8220;dis&#8221; to Detroit.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t Detroit&#8217;s diss.
