— Ethan Hullihen (@EthanHullihen) January 15, 2026So, if the spreadsheets are accurate (via the AP’s reporting), we now know that the AAV for luxury tax purposes on Alex Bregman’s deal is just under $30.9 million. Should we call it $31 million in the years ahead when we reference his salary colloquially? I think that’s probably what I’ll do.
And again, if the spreadsheets are accurate, the Cubs will be paying Bregman $20 million, $20 million, $25 million, $25 million, and $15 million each of the next five years as his annual salary. And then he’ll be getting an absolute crapload of deferred payments in the $1.25 to $2.5 million range, through 2034-2041. So, prepare to hear a bit about those payments a long time from now, I guess. This is far from a Bobby Bonilla situation, but deferring out 10 years after a deal is over is a pretty healthy bit of deferring.
The kind of complex, sophisticated, robust contract an organization like the Chicago Cubs should be able to offer a key free agent. Nice to know they are now in that business when the situation calls for it.
