CHICAGO -- The Cubs have attempted to bring Alex Bregman into the fold via free agency in each of the past two offseasons, hoping to bring his revered leadership, impact bat and strong glove to a team trying to make the postseason an annual event.
On Saturday night, the North Siders got their man, with the club reaching an agreement with Bregman on a five-year contract worth $175 million, multiple sources told MLB.com. The deal, which is pending physical and was not confirmed by the team, includes no opt-outs and a full no-trade clause, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
