Cubs Having Contract Conversations With Alex Bregman
According to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score, the Chicago Cubs have had "casual conversations" with player agent Scott Boras on potentially signing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman to a short-term contract. Bregman is one of the top remaining bats on the free-agent market and is currently seeking a longer extension. Throughout the offseason, the Detroit Tigers have been viewed as one of the top landing spots for the infielder. However, Bregman has been unable to find the contract he is looking for. According to Levine, the Cubs are not willing to sign Bregman to a large extension but have expressed interest in a short-term deal. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation, as the Cubs could become Bregman's top target if he were to look for a short-term contract. If Bregman were to sign with Chicago, he would have an everyday role at the hot corner, limiting top prospect Matt Shaw's opportunities to make a big-league debut early in the season.
