Former GM Calls Cubs ‘Team To Beat’ After Poaching Alex Bregman From Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox’s loss could be a major boon for the Chicago Cubs.

Alex Bregman is reportedly going to the Cubs, who signed the third baseman to a five-year, $175 million contract. Boston reportedly offered the three-time All-Star a five-year, $165 million deal to stay.

As the Red Sox regroup to address their lineup without Bregman, the Cubs have added a major piece to their 2026 puzzle. A former MLB general manager believes Bregman can help them take another step forward.
