Alex Bregman has agreed to a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, opting out of his Boston Red Sox deal after one playoff season and rejecting their similar offer. The move leaves the Red Sox—still without a major free-agent signing this offseason—pursuing Toronto shortstop Bo Bichette and other options to rebuild their infield.
The Boston Red Sox acquired left-handed pitching prospect Jake Bennett from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right-hander Luis Perales on Monday. Both pitchers, recent Tommy John surgery survivors, represent a swap of high-upside prospects in Boston's ongoing pitching overhaul. The deal highlights connections between the teams' front offices.

The Boston Red Sox bolstered their pitching staff by acquiring right-hander Johan Oviedo from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a five-player trade on Thursday night. Oviedo, who joins fellow starter Sonny Gray as Boston's second addition this winter, posted a 3.57 ERA in limited action last season. In exchange, Pittsburgh received outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia and pitching prospect Jesus Travieso.
