"Bregman was arguably the top remaining free agent this offseason, and Boston never lost interest in bringing him back after a successful first season with the team. Alex Cora said as recently as Saturday morning that he would love to have Bregman back, but that the ball was ultimately "in his court." The Red Sox signed Bregman to a three-year deal last offseason, but the former Gold Glove winner was reportedly seeking a longer-term deal and opted to hit free agency,"
"The Alex Bregman sweepstakes are over, and the Red Sox weren't able to retain their All-Star from 2025. Bregman and the Chicago Cubs came to an agreement on a five-year, $175 million deal on Saturday night, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. News: Third baseman Alex Bregman is heading to Chicago, agreeing to a five-year, $175 million deal with the Cubs that includes no opt-outs and a full no-trade clause for the three-time All-Star."
Alex Bregman agreed to a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs that reportedly includes no opt-outs and a full no-trade clause. Boston had hoped to re-sign Bregman after his strong first season with the team and had reportedly made an aggressive, five-year offer but was outbid by Chicago. Bregman had previously signed a three-year deal with the Red Sox and chose free agency seeking a longer-term contract. With Bregman off the market, the Red Sox, led by Craig Breslow, will pursue other free-agent infield reinforcements, including reported interest in Bo Bichette.
