The Chicago Cubs are likely not going to land the top free agent remaining on the market according to a new report. Earlier this month, shocking news emerged saying the Cubs were pursuing Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman if the two-time All-Star was willing to sign a short-term deal which contained opt outs similar to the contract which got Cody Bellinger to Chicago.

There have been conflicting reports regarding the Red Sox pursuit of relief pitcher Tanner Scott who ultimately landed with the Dodgers. The most recent report is not a good look for the Boston organization.

Tanner Scott turned down a massive contract from the Boston Red Sox before signing with the champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Boston Red Sox have been targeting two-time World Series champ Alex Bregman for a while now, all while competing with the Detroit Tigers for Bregman. However, it seems the Sox have an advantage now. According to Tigers insider Evan Petzold, the Tigers and Alex Bregman are at a standstill in their negotiations.

As they look to complete their offseason upgrade by adding a right-handed bat, the Boston Red Sox appear to be playing a game of chicken with the most sought-after righty hitter still available on the free agent market.

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman could be headed to the Detroit Tigers on a massive contract this offseason.
