MESA, Ariz. — If the Cubs bring in a veteran third baseman this spring, it looks like it won’t be Alex Bregman.
Bregman agreed to a three-year deal with the Red Sox for $120 million, according to multiple reports Wednesday night.
The Cubs had been interested in signing the two-time All-Star, but optimism that they’d be able to make a competitive offer was waning this week. They offered Bregman a four-year deal worth $115 million, with opt-outs after the second and third years, a source confirmed.
