The Chicago Cubs have added a huge bat to their offense, reportedly signing free agent infielder Alex Bregman.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the deal for Bregman and the Cubs is for five years and $175 million, making it one of the biggest deals in team history.
Bregman, who will turn 32 before the season, was a target of the Cubs during last year’s offseason before he inked a contract with the Boston Red Sox.
He had a strong season in Boston, hitting 18 home runs and driving in 62 RBI’s while slashing .273/.360/.462. He made yet another All-Star team in the process, and opted out of his contract with Boston after the season.
It would appear likely that Bregman will play third base for the Cubs in the 2026 season, with Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner and Michael Busch rounding out the team’s infield.
The Cubs have not yet confirmed the signing.
