Alex Bregman Reportedly Signs Five-Year Contract With Chicago Cubs
- Late Saturday night, Alex Bregman agreed to a five-year, $175 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, removing a key everyday third baseman and creating a void for the Boston Red Sox.
- The Red Sox were outbid and declined a full no-trade clause the Chicago Cubs offered, while earlier moves around Rafael Devers and payroll reallocations to Roman Anthony limited Boston's spending flexibility.

- Critics warn the loss of Bregman intensified Fenway Park fans' anger and eroded Boston Red Sox ownership credibility after reallocating half of $254 million to Roman Anthony and completing the Rafael Devers trade.
