But the Red Sox have already made a few trades to bolster their roster this winter, namely adding Sonny Gray in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>But they need to prioritize signing Alex Bregman to a new deal, or else they&#8217;re going to lose him to a different contender. Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently projected Bregman would sign a massive $182 million deal this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Bleacher Report&#8217;s Zachary Rymer recently made the bold prediction that Bregman would betray the Red Sox in free agency and sign a massive deal with the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"11173647\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1536px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=640&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 640w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=750&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 750w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1000w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=1360&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1360w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225907821.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1600w\" alt=\"Red Sox's $182 million superstar projected to bolt for deal with Cubs\" width=\"7375\" height=\"4917\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cubs came close to signing Bregman last winter,\u00a0offering him\u00a0a four-year, $115 million contract that was just $5 million leaner than the one he accepted from Boston,&#8221; Rymer wrote. &#8220;Evidently, the experience of having been spurned hasn&#8217;t left any hard feelings in the Cubs&#8217; front office. Per the report from Mooney and Sharma referenced above, they are showing &#8216;renewed interest&#8217; in the three-time All-Star this winter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs desperately need to upgrade their roster, assuming they&#8217;re going to lose Kyle Tucker in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Bregman has seemingly been on their radar for over a year now. The Cubs should have the money to make a big move like this, too.<\/p>\n<p>Adding Bregman to their roster would be the perfect move for Chicago. It would boost their lineup in a big way while adding a star at the hot corner.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>More MLB: Giants Predicted To Sign $30 Million Veteran Pitcher To Bolster Roster<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Cubs need to make a big move to bolster their roster and adding Alex Bregman would be the perfect solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":129541,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udd25 REPORT: Red Sox\u2019s $182 Million Superstar Set to Leave for Cubs \u2014 Major Move That Could Shake Up Boston\u2019s Future!
