What a day for Chicago sports! 😃

Not bad for probably next two years. You might not be happy if it means they don't sign Hoerner after 2026 and move Shaw to 2B. If there even is a 2027 season.

Great Bears game.

I wish he stayed in Boston but not for that money

Greed rules. Nobody needs that kind of money! Two years at most and the Cubs will rue that signing!

As a Brewer fan I would have preferred a destination other than Chicago.

The jealousy of Red Sox fans though makes this a glass half-full.

Jealous of what.
For a player that to get that much money he needs to be on the field more often and I would rather give the money to the young and up and coming stars.

I have my information wrong then. I hadn’t realized that you spoke for Red Sox fans and it seemed that there was a bit of frustration on the part of many that Henry wouldn’t push all in. You’re correct. This is a great win for the Red Sox and a shrewd business move by one of the best front offices in baseball.

The Red Sox will have a 3rd baseman on the field on opening day and it will be a much cheaper one than Bregman would have been!

I did not say you were wrong. I only stated my opinion.If you had read mine and tried not to be so opinionated maybe you would have understood what I stated.
I asked jealous of what.

way too much money. glad Boston did not sign for that. at this point, Bregman is good for about 20 HR, 75 RBI. that will be most likely decrease by the end of the 5 year contract.

I sure wish we would have paid up for Alonso though.

By logical calculations Bregman’s power numbers will adjust to Wrigley Field weather conditions. The wind will destroy what once landed in the Crawford Boxes or banged up against the Green Monster. I like the idea that he could be a run producing gap hitter at home. His defense is solid. Good swap for losing Tucker, who would have cost more.

You didn’t use a question mark dude. I can’t even begin with you.

70 mil is deferred

Supposedly the Red Sox offered him 165 mil with more deferrals that would be paid out over decades yes decades lol. Could have had a Bregman day to go along with Bonilla or how every you spell it day for annual payments

LOL who is jealous?

I was referring to the numerous articles and the superfluous online commentary from Red Sox fans regarding their "disappointment" in losing Bregman.

I understand the concept of "rejecting rejection". The Red Sox front-office was intent on signing Bregman and failed - so I suspect they're disappointed.

Jealousy was my provocative reach, but that was more so for Cubs fans as I expect everyone to correctly infer! Here's a game to help develop that perception.

Are you the spelling police on this forum now.
I come here to relax and hope for a stress free time, not to be bullied by the spelling police.

I am not the spelling police. I am saying that I did not interpret it as a question. You seem like you're trying to pick a fight.
