Why Brewers still hold edge over Cubs after foolish Alex Bregman splurge

Chicago sports really had a field day against their Wisconsin counterparts over the weekend. In the middle of an all-time playoff collapse by the Green Bay Packers, news broke that the Chicago Cubs were signing third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year deal.

That latter news raises some serious questions about the hierarchy of the NL Central while the Milwaukee Brewers trudge their way through an understandably slow winter. Considering their response to the signing might be to trade ace Freddy Peralta, it's easy to feel like the Cubs have pushed the Brewers into a corner.
