Okay, that makes sense.
I mean, it felt like it had to...
be some deferment in there once the deal came out.
I think it, is it the richest contract the Cubs have ever given?
Second.
Who's first?
It's pretty good.
It's going to be tough to determine who goes where in that lineup because you have so many options for every part of it.
Your middle of the order can change.
Your top of the order can change.
It's a good problem to have.
Oh, 100%.
Obviously, lefty-righty, you have Bush leading off or Nico leading off or you leading off.
It's a fun, like you said, very good problem to have.
And I was โ I think Tom texted us, and that's the first I saw of it, and I was pumped.
Yeah.
I mean, it's the move I said I wanted all offseason.
And it was no knock on Matt Shaw, but it was one where if there was an open spot that kind of could be filled, it was at third base with Bregman.
And bringing him in, like you said, with the lineup depth and being able to switch the matchups around, I mean, I think he slots in perfectly to the two-hole, but he could also be three-hole, five-hole.
He's someone you can really put anywhere.
