Right now, Red Sox fans are in mourning.
As my colleague Maxime Trudeau wrote yesterday, there's still a lot of grumbling among Boston fans about Alex Bregman jumping ship to sign with the Chicago Cubs.
In fact, it's mostly directed at management.
And let's just say that learning that the American East club believed Scott Boras was bluffing when he said he had a better offer elsewhere, isn't exactly going to give fans confidence in the management team and the owners.

But as far as Bregman is concerned, the page has been turned. Now it's time to move to Chicago… and take on the local sports teams.
After sharing a story about the Bears' playoff comeback victory, Bregman was in the Blackhawks' stands last night.

As you can see, he was wearing the colors of the local team. And he didn't go unnoticed.
It's safe to assume he's in town to familiarize himself with his new surroundings, to meet his bosses at Wrigley Field, to find himself a home, or for an upcoming press conference.
Cubs fans can be happy: the team's management has made sure that the 2026 season will be an exciting one. Bregman is the icing on the sundae.
Will it be enough to win the division? Possibly.
