We just signed Bregman to a 6 year 100 million dollar contract!

5 years, 100 million.  The 2019 contract is still intact.  Covers his 3 arb seasons and 2 FA years.  Giving him the benefit of the doubt with health and performance, he was poised to earn something like 10/16/24 in his 3 arb seasons, so the Astros bought out his 2 FA years at $25 million per.  That's a really fair deal for both sides, IMO.

That's a steal.

Not really. He wouldn't be a FA until 2023. That's 4 years arbitration and 2 years post arb that were bought. Given what people get in arbitration he's getting a pretty sizable raise in those years.

EDIT: Or you can read @hrubes20 post above me.

Top outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez, who has yet to play a day in the major leagues, has agreed to a six-year, $43 million contract with the Chicago White Sox that includes two club options, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN.

Jimenez's contract reflects the confidence Chicago has in his ability to be a star-level talent -- and the cost of keeping Jimenez from free agency before his 30th birthday, which the options offer. If exercised, they will bump the sum of Jimenez's deal to $77 million, according to sources.

They buy out his arb years for 43M and his first two years of FA for 32M total is how I'm reading this. If so, especially with inflation between now and then, this is a steal for the Sox.
