Alex Bregman wanted a no-trade clause
The Red Sox wouldn't give him one. There was also too much money deferred for too long (more than the Cubs' $70M deferral?) to say yes to the Sox.
Sources tell me and @Sean_McAdam: Red Sox offered Alex Bregman a 5-year deal at a reasonably competitive AAV. It was financially short of the Cubs, quite obviously. Two other sticking points: lack of a no-trade clause and deferral schedule “out decades.”https://t.co/VTz6LiMvNz

That makes what Owen Caissie would have brought to the Cubs a different kind of replacement, veteran Bregman.
“You have to give something to get something.”
The @Marlins are feeling good about the return they got in exchange for Edward Cabrera.

Triston Casas and the truth
He knows Willson Contreras is better than him.
Triston Casas on Red Sox acquiring Willson Contreras to play 1B: “As of right now, the way it is, he's a better player than me and has been for his entire career. To upgrade at a position that has been deficient for the last two years is exactly what the team needed.”

Great Scott Boras
He made a play on words with “Green Bay Packers” to talk about the Chicago folks' night watching the Bears win and Alex Bregman sign in town.

Winning at the end of the line
The Astros offered Alex Bregman $156 million over six years. Between Boston and Chicago, he'll make $215M over the same period.
The #Astros offered Alex Bregman $156M for 6 years back in 2024..
He has now made $215M since then through his contracts with Boston and Chicago
Congrats #2
