After an extended courtship by several teams, longtime Houston Astros star Alex Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Boston Red Sox earlier this week. This move marks the first time in Bregman’s Major League Baseball career that he’ll play for a team other than Houston, after the Astros were unable to convince the two-time All-Star to accept their six-year, $156 million offer.
In a heartfelt statement following his departure from the Astros, Bregman expressed his gratitude to the organization: “Thank you for believing in me, for pushing me to be my best, and for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream,” he said. He also thanked his teammates and the fans: “You made every day at the ballpark unforgettable, and I will always cherish the memories we created together, both on and off the field. We are family. Thank you for every cheer, every chant, and every moment of support. I will never take our time together for granted. Houston, from the bottom of my heart—thank you. With love and gratitude, Alex.”
Bregman’s wife, Reagan, also shared a touching message on Instagram, reflecting on their time in Houston. “Leaving you is bittersweet, but one thing is certain—no matter where life takes our family, I will always have so much love for this city,” she wrote. “This is where I met my husband, where we started our family, and where so many unforgettable memories were made. I’ve loved giving back to a community that has given so much to us. Seeing Houston rally around Bregman Cares has been truly humbling. Houston is also where I pursued my dreams as an entrepreneur. Thank you for your unwavering support for me, my businesses, and my passions. This city lifts up its own, and I will always be grateful. Thank you, Houston, for embracing me and my family, and for making this journey unforgettable. With love and gratitude, Reagan.”
