Alex Bregman Posts Goodbye To Astros After Reported Red Sox Deal

The Boston Red Sox finished off their offseason in style Wednesday night with the reported signing of Alex Bregman for a three-year deal.

The two-time World Series champion starts his next baseball chapter after nine seasons with the Houston Astros with plenty of team and individual success along the way.

Bregman posted to Instagram Friday night to thank the Astros, the city of Houston and the fan base for his tenure with the ballclub.

“Dear Houston, From the moment I put on an Astros uniform, I felt the love, the passion, and the energy from this city,” Bregman wrote. “Together, we became champions — on and off the field. Eight playoff appearances, seven ALCS appearances, four World Series appearances, and two World Series titles. We’ve fought hard each season, lifting each other up in the toughest moments and celebrating our triumphs as one. But more than the stats, it’s the resilience of the city that has stuck with me — because Houston is a city that knows how to rise, rebuild, and keep fighting. From weathering natural disasters to overcoming the global challenges of a pandemic, and rallying behind philanthropic causes aiding our great community, Houston as always come together in a way only this city can. We’ve faced adversity together, and that’s what makes this city and this team so special. That strength is embedded in the heart of every single person who is lucky enough to call Houston home.”

Bregman continued: “To the Astros 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. To my teammates — 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, To the fans — 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 arrived in Fort Myers, Fla., with the Red Sox on Friday. The deal is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
