Alex Bregman Signs Five-Year, $175M Deal with Chicago Cubs

All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman has agreed to a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, including a full no-trade clause and $70 million deferred. Bregman, 31, opted out of his Red Sox deal after a 2025 season where he slashed .273/.360/.462 with 18 HR and 62 RBI in 114 games, despite missing June with a quad injury. He's expected to be Chicago's starting third baseman, bolstering an already strong infield. This is the Cubs' second major offseason move.
