MLB sources: The #Astros have reached an agreement on a six-year/$100 million contract with All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman that includes this season. Deal covers this year & the 3 years he'd be eligible for arbitration plus the first two years Alex can become a free agent.

There were people telling me he would not make enough money playing baseball to be set for life on this board.

Now corrected to
quote:

It is a five-year deal, not a six year deal. It will still buy out Bregman's three arbitration seasons and his first two years of free agency. It does not include 2019


For comparison he made about 600K last year. And now will be making 20MM per starting in 2020

Actually this route is the aberration. Arbitration is much more common

Bregman also just signed a big deal with Adidas today and was put on the cover of RBI Baseball last month. Dude is blowing up and making some serious money.

It was a few people. Back when he just cracked the Astros MLB roster and he was slumping. They said he wouldn't stay on a MLB roster, and if he did, he wouldn't be good enough to make enough to be set.
