Reports: Ex-Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, Cardinals agree to 5-year, $87.5 million deal.
When he rejected the Cubs' $19.65 million qualifying offer in early November, Willson Contreras hit the free-agent market. According to multiple reports, Contreras signed a five-year, $87.5 million contract with the rival Cardinals Wednesday. The deal won't be officially announced until the 30-year-old Contreras passes a physical.
Since Contreras rejected the qualifying offer, the Cubs get the Cardinals' second highest draft choice in 2023 as compensation.
