Red Sox Outbid Cubs to Sign Alex Bregman in Key Offseason Move

Boston secured the star third baseman with a $120M deal, leaving Chicago to address lingering infield concerns.

Alex Bregman signed with the Boston Red Sox for $120 million over three years, beating the Chicago Cubs’ $115 million four-year offer.
The Cubs and Red Sox were reportedly Bregman’s preferred destinations, but Boston’s offer, despite deferrals, proved more appealing.
Bregman’s addition bolsters the Red Sox roster, though his primary position remains undecided between second and third base.
Chicago’s failure to land Bregman leaves them without a clear solution at third base, relying on Nick Madrigal or Christopher Morel to fill the gap.
The Cubs have strengthened their bullpen and added Kyle Tucker, but missing out on Bregman raises questions about their offseason strategy.
