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

LINK

reading its actually a 5 year extension that kicks in next year.

True. He shouldn't be making that much more than Thomas Morstead, the greatest punter of all time.

Beautiful, great for both sides. Bregman gets more than he would’ve gotten in the first 4 years and the Astros save in the last 2 years

yep, plus added security for Bregman. Can't underestimate how much having Bregman's contract locked in for the next 6 years will help management with signings and other negotiations either, getting that ? off the books of dealing with arbitration and his free agency

Wow. I follow the MLB very very casually and even I know this is a ridiculously stupid take.

As a Ranger fan, the dude can suck a dick and talks a lot of shite and I hope he gets his arse kicked one day for it.....but I’m still salty as shite that Houston took him. Otherwise he goes to Texas one pick later.

He is a hell of a player already and I believe his bat will continue to improve.
