Following their trade for Edward Cabrera, the Chicago Cubs made a significant move by signing third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal that includes a no-trade clause and no opt-outs. Bregman, who opted out of his previous contract with the Boston Red Sox, was pursued by the Cubs after their hesitance last winter. This signing, along with the infield talent already in place, positions Chicago as a strong contender in the league. The Cubs’ proactive approach marks a shift in their strategy, aiming for championship success rather than financial concerns.
