Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, but it wasn't enough as Washington knocked off the Cubs, 6-3, on Sunday afternoon.
Fantasy Impact
Bregman went 1-for-9 in his first two games with the Cubs before launching his first two home runs in a Chicago uniform on Sunday. He hit his first in the bottom of the fourth inning against Washington starter, Jake Irvin, and then his second came off of reliever, Cionel Perez, in the bottom of the eighth. Bregman hit .273 with 18 home runs in 114 games in his only season with Boston in 2025. He signed with the Cubs as a free agent in January and is off to a 3-for-13 (.231) start with a .978 OPS in three games this year.
The Cubs have signed free agent 3B Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal.
Fantasy Impact
The deal includes no opt-outs and a full no trade clause. The veteran third baseman hit .273, with 18 home runs, and 62 RBI with Boston last season. Bregman will immediately slot in as the Cubs’ long term answer at third base.
The Boston Red Sox have reportedly made an aggressive offer to bring back free agent third baseman Alex Bregman.
Fantasy Impact
It's no surprise the Red Sox are aggressively trying to retain the 31-year-old after originally signing him to a three-year deal with a $40 million average annual value just last offseason. After opting out of that deal, it appears Bregman has an opportunity to return, if he chooses. His first year in Boston was a resounding success as he hit .273 with 18 home runs and an .822 OPS in 114 games.
The D-backs are reportedly showing interest in free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman.
Fantasy Impact
The D-backs are a somewhat surprising party in the Bregman sweepstakes, but the club is rumored to be shopping second baseman Ketel Marte, which would allow incumbent third baseman Jordan Lawlaw to move to the keystone. Bregman had a successful first season in Boston in 2025, hitting .273 with 18 home runs and an .822 OPS across 114 games before opting out of his three-year contract signed prior to the season.
Alex Bregman has opted out of his contract with Boston.
