The newest Cubs star made his big Chicago debut at the Blackhawks game. Too bad his wife Reagan stole his thunder.

The Chicago Cubs and free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman agreed to a reported five-year, $175 million deal Saturday.

With Alex Bregman set to join Dansby Swanson on the left side of the Cubs infield, after reportedly agreeing to a five-year, $175 million free agent contract last week, it sets them up to become the fifth pair of teammates taken first and second in the same Draft.

The Detroit Tigers didn't try to land free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman before he signed a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.

Bregman, of course, is the big winner, patiently working the system as a free agent represented by Scott Boras. By taking a short-term offer from the Boston Red Sox last year and using the opt-out clause in that contract, Bregman can keep score by earning $215 million over six seasons, though some of that money will be deferred.

Chicago Cubs star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was asked about his level of excitement for Alex Bregman coming aboard, and his reaction was everything.

Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Cubs signing Alex Bregman, how badly the Red Sox messed up and Bo Bichette’s possible fit with the Phillies.

That is the upshot from trading for Edward Cabrera, a potential top-of-the-rotation starter, and reaching an agreement with All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman on a five-year, $175 million contract that quieted the talk about the big-market franchise’s lack of spending.
