Several reports have indicated that the Alex Bregman saga should end this week, just as teams begin showing up for Spring Training. The last update was that the Cubs have offered a four-year contract to the third baseman, with Bruce Levine mentioning the team has no interest in going up to six or seven years.
Back when this all started in November, Bregman was given a $21.05 million qualifying offer by the Houston Astros for a one-year deal. Turning that down was an easy decision given that Bregman was paid $30 million in 2024.
