The Astros and the All-Star third baseman have agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract, according to a person familiar with the deal. It will cover his three years of arbitration-eligibility and the first two seasons he could become a free agent.

The deal is the second-largest in Astros franchise history, trailing only Jose Altuve's five-year, $151 million extension signed last year. Bregman's is the second-largest pre-arbitration contract given to a player. The Angels' Mike Trout signed a six-year, $144 million deal in 2014.
