With pitchers and catchers reporting soon, Alex Bregman remains unsigned after rejecting a six-year, $156MM offer from the Astros, leading them to seek alternative infield options.
Bregman and his agents initially aimed for a contract exceeding $200MM, but uncertainty looms as teams hope he may lower his asking price during his free agency.
The Cubs have had 'casual' discussions regarding Bregman, though they appear uninterested in a long-term deal and may consider shorter agreements with opt-out clauses.
While top prospect Shaw has promising stats, the Cubs lack a reliable backup if he struggles, making Bregman a logical choice to provide stability at third base.
