Cubs Officially Sign Alex Bregman, Introduction Set for Thursday

Multiple outlets report a five-year, $175 million contract that includes deferrals plus a full no-trade clause.

Overview

  • The Cubs will introduce Bregman at Wrigley Field on Thursday morning, with Marquee Sports Network set to carry the news conference.
  • He will wear No. 3 for Chicago and is scheduled to appear at the team’s fan convention this weekend.
  • Chicago did not disclose financial terms, and reports place the deal at five years and $175 million with deferrals and a full no-trade clause, which would be the franchise’s third-largest by total value.
  • Bregman is expected to take over third base, with the infield otherwise featuring Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner and Michael Busch.
  • Hoerner has drawn trade interest per reports, though the team has not indicated plans to move him, and Bregman arrives after a strong 2025 with Boston and an offseason opt-out.
