But he had already turned down 6/$156 from the Astros. $26 million per year. Didn't take a school of a haircut as Alonso. Cubs' fans still have Shaw. Feel the same way about this deal as Chapman a year ago at third for SFG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVM Marketing opportunities are that much higher in Boston versus "flyover" territory? Seems to be a bit like the Wheeler decision where the wife strongly preferred Philly.

And $40M/yr is what Bregman is actually going to get paid. That's what I'm referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she wouldn't have been HAPPIER with 6 years and $156 million in Houston, or the 6 years/$171+ offered by the Tigers? Because he's not going to get another contract like that again at age 33....even with relatively big offensive numbers induced by 81 games played at Fenway.

Chisoxfn Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The upcoming lockout is going to be brutal - I think it will be worse than 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, they are likely better off without him in the long run at this price and the fact that they have Matt Shaw. Nightengale said their final offer was 4/$120. $40 million AAV for Bregman is crazy money. Also, not spending this money on Bregman could help them resign Kyle Tucker next offseason.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think the Nick Pivetta signing for Boston moving here. They lose pick #54 for Bregman but they receive #75 for Pivetta. They also forfeit $500K of international space. The Cubs otoh, would’ve forfeited 2nd, 5th and $1 million in international space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
