Yeah I’m not even mad about that. $40M per year is crazyyyy for Bregman

Chandler Rome is Houston's Athletic Writer, so that would seem to be that.

And wowza, $40M per year!?

[Jason Ross]

Man, that's insane. Yeah, have at him, Boston. 

[Post Count Padder]

Good lord that's a lot. Ok, moving on!

[KCCub]

Tigers offer maybe?

If that is true, they can have him. And why didn’t take him that long to sign that. That is crazy money. No idea why the Cubs would have stuck around at that level. 

[Outshined_One]

Yikes. I mean, the length is great, but yikes.

[ToolDRT]

Yeah, glad we didn’t do that. 

[Randall Simon]

So, what do we do with our $30M now???

The Red Sox reportedly will sign Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract:

They could pivot to Cease (who feels likely to go shortly after they signed Pivetta). Or could be a Turner/Robertson combo. 

[Bertz]

The way the Athletic article about Turner was written, that sounded pretty far down the road.  I wouldn't be surprised if he's a Cub tomorrow or Friday.

The Pivetta thing likely means that Cease is close to getting dealt

Hopefully the offseason can be done, from our perspective at least, by the weekend.

What do you mean OUR 30 million? PTR needs a new Leer jet and has a country to help ruin.

[Dfan25]

I don’t care  if it is short term , that’s awful . If he has a down year they are stuck with him at 40.0 on AAV . Yikes

I’ll take Cease, Suarez, and Turner. Them getting Pivetta has given me another slimmer of hope on Cease

Cease and Turner would be a good ending to the off season. If not Turner, Canha. 

[SOFNR]

Yah, perfectly fine with not matching that. Now go get Cease and Robertson.

[Derwood]

That’s just stupid, Boston 

[Bertz]

I didn't even think about how Bregman choosing Boston screws over the Cards until I saw this (Judge is a Brewers fan).  Very nice little bonus.

So much for it being down to the Tigers and Cubs. Shows how little these reporters actually know and get used to float rumors around.
