The only thing that could come close to the Chicago Bears' comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, in terms of surprise, was the fact that it was the Cubs that passed out a $175M deal to the All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman. Bregman's five-year deal with the Cubs includes no opt-outs, and the veteran will also have a full no-trade clause.
Setting aside the circumstances of this offseason, letting Kyle Tucker walk in free agency and trading Owen Caissie, the Cubs have been enamored with Bregman for a long time.
