Landing Alex Bregman is easily one of the biggest highlights of the Cubs’ offseason. The move clearly shifts the balance of power, but it didn’t come cheaply.

Alex Bregman is set to be introduced to Chicagoland next weekend. We break down the winners and losers of his five-year, $175 million contract.

The $175 million contract for Bregman is one of the most lucrative deals in recent MLB history. This contract places him among the highest-paid players in the league, indicating the Cubs' commitment to investing in top-tier talent. Bregman, known for his powerful batting and defensive skills, is expected to bring a wealth of experience to the team.

But, David Schoenfield of ESPN had a more pessimistic reaction to the Bregman deal. He gives out grades for each big offseason move, and this contract with Bregman got a "C+" grade and was met with some odd concerns.

We all knew it was time for the Cubs to address the lineup. On Saturday night, they corrected last year’s mistake, signing third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year deal worth $175 million (an AAV of $35 million).

Alex Bregman has agreed to a five-year, $175M deal with the Cubs, giving Chicago a top third baseman as they aim to contend in 2026.

The Chicago Cubs made huge gains with Alex Bregman and Edward Cabrera. Are they positioned to finally dethrone the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central?
