Alex Bregman’s reputation precedes him as a hard-working baseball junkie. A major reason the Cubs signed him to a five-year, $175 million deal is the mentorship he can offer the team’s young core.
While appearing on David Kaplan’s podcast, Jed Hoyer discussed how Bregman wanted to align with the organization’s hitting plans when speaking with different prospects. As Hoyer says in the interview, that’s not normal.
During his time in the major leagues, Bregman has seen a tremendous amount of success. He has a career 133 wRC+ and 43.1 fWAR, along with 209 home runs across 1,225 games.
