Signing Alex Bregman registers as one of the biggest moves the Chicago Cubs have made since Jed Hoyer took over baseball operations from Theo Epstein, right up there with the Dansby Swanson signing and Kyle Tucker trade.
The new starting third baseman of the North Siders is a three-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, and his tremendous bat, solid glove, and winning mentality should all be huge assets to the franchise as they near the 10-year anniversary of that 2016 championship.
Of course, adding a superstar player isn't without its consequences, and while many will focus on the financial ramifications of giving $35 million per year to a soon-to-be 32-year-old, it's also clear that the Bregman's presence will have some trickle down effects on the rest of the roster.
