The Chicago Cubs have added Alex Bregman, finalizing a $175 million, five-year contract with the All-Star third baseman.

With Alex Bregman set to join Dansby Swanson on the left side of the Cubs infield, after reportedly agreeing to a five-year, $175 million free agent contract last week, it sets them up to become the fifth pair of teammates taken first and second in the same Draft.

Thus far in his career, Alex Bregman has had the good fortune of playing in two of the most opportune venues for pull-side right-handed power: Daikin Park and Fenway Park. Now, he'll get a taste of the opposite.

The Chicago Cubs made arguably the biggest splash of the offseason so far when they signed Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million contract on Saturday night.

The San Francisco Giants are aggressively pursuing a second baseman and have been engaged with Chicago on Nico Hoerner and St. Louis on Brendan Donovan, sources tell ESPN. An infield of Matt Chapman, Willy Adames, Donovan or Hoerner and Rafael Devers would be among MLB's best.

The Detroit Tigers didn't try to land free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman before he signed a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.

In 2015, Dansby Swanson and Alex Bregman stood right next to each other, metaphorically speaking, in the MLB Draft. Swanson was that year's No. 1 overall selection by the D-backs, and Bregman was chosen at No.
