Alex Bregman is a serious guy when it comes to baseball analysis.
He did his homework before choosing the Red Sox last year, and he did the same when it came time to sign a long-term contract with the Chicago outfit.
Jed Hoyer, when introducing Bregman to the media, said he chatted to everyone in the Cubs organization to learn more about the Cubs mentality.
He's a bit of a baseball nerd.
Jed Hoyer says Alex Bregman asked for scouting reports on all his teammates, asked for a meeting with all the minor-league staff in Arizona on hitting philosophies & reached out to his new teammates.

Obviously, Red Sox fans reading this article have big hearts. The signing of Ranger Suarez is interesting, but fans had grown attached to Bregman in 2025.
And with good reason: he's been excellent.
At his press conference in Chicago, the veteran was asked about his time in Boston. He said he'd enjoyed working with all those people, and that he'd talked to the members of the Red Sox.
He also added that the club was going to be very good for a long time to come.
Alex Bregman on saying goodbye to Red Sox teammates and staff:
“I talked to all the players and the coaches and just expressed to them that it was an honor to take the field with them. They're set up to be a really good team for a long time.”

It's worth remembering that one of the reasons Boston's future looks bright is that Bregman decided to take the Red Sox' talented young players under his wing.
They'll be able to develop without him, of course… but it won't be the same.
Now, it's the young players in the Cubs organization who will benefit. And I say young… but there aren't many World Series winners in Chicago in general: Bregman's experience will help.
We'll see what impact he has in 2026.
