The Cubs and third baseman Alex Bregman are in agreement on a five-year, $175MM contract, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post and Jeff Passan of ESPN. The deal does not have opt-outs, and Bregman receives a no-trade clause, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Bregman is a client of the Boras Corporation.
After opting out of his deal with the Red Sox, Bregman now gets the long-term contract he has been seeking. We at MLBTR ranked him at No. 5 on our Top 50 Free Agents list and projected him for a six-year, $160MM contract.
