The Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman to a lucrative five-year, $175 million deal earlier this month to end the All-Star third baseman's free agency saga.

After five seasons in Houston, the outfielder heads to the Windy City.

According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Astros might now be able to swing a trade with the Red Sox with one of their infielders after Boston lost Bregman to the Cubs. Specifically, Isaac Paredes could be a clear trade target for Boston.

Former Houston Astros star Alex Bregman opted out of his big-time deal with the Boston Red Sox and was able secure a longer contract from the Chicago Cubs.

Two-time All-Star reliever Ryan Pressly has retired after a 13-year career in which he collected 117 saves and helped the Houston Astros win the 2022 World Series.

Ultimately, the goal is to build a team good enough to capture a division title, secure a first-round bye and win the World Series.
