The Boston Red Sox made waves across the baseball world by closing out the MLB offseason with the signing of star third baseman Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract.
Bregman, a battle-hardened veteran with a proven track record, is already embracing the Red Sox culture and bringing infectious energy to the team. His experience in high-pressure moments, including playoff matchups against the Red Sox as a member of the Houston Astros, has given him a unique perspective on the storied franchise.
In a recent appearance on The Greg Hill Show, Alex Bregman revealed the key factors that led him to choose the historic Boston franchise. The electrifying atmosphere at Fenway Park, even on an ordinary Monday, played a significant role in his decision. The passion of the fans and the unique energy that fills the ballpark captivated Bregman from the start.
“I think when it’s Monday in Boston, and it’s still sold out, and ‘Sweet Caroline’ is playing, and the crowd is going crazy—whether it’s a Monday or a Saturday night—it’s just an elite atmosphere that gets you up for every single game,” Bregman said.
He added, “That definitely played a big role in why I wanted to go to Boston. The fans are incredible. I feel like every game means something during the regular season, and I feel like that’s a good, healthy pressure.”
