Chicago Cubs: Alex Bregman gets power boost prediction on ESPN top 100 list
The Chicago Cubs are one of the best young teams in Major League Baseball. They are one of baseball’s best teams when it comes to developing their own talent. Indeed, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Nico Hoerner, and Moises Ballesteros are all examples for talented players that Chicago brought up through their minor league system.
However, they also are an organization that realizes that some roster issues cannot be immediately solved in-house. That is why, this past off-season, they signed All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year $175 million contract.
In addition to his Gold Glove defense and Silver Slugger bat, Bregman brings invaluable veteran leadership and World Series experience to Chicago. And ESPN believes the Cubs’ ballpark, Wrigley Field, has something to offer him as well.
Chicago Cubs star Alex Bregman lands on ESPN’s top 100 list
Bregman was one of the most sought-after free agents on the market this off-season, and for good reason. He is widely regarded as one of the best players in the game, and ESPN put him at number 61 on their top-100 players list:
“The Cubs’ post-Ron Santo history at third base has been famously spotty, but if Bregman stays healthy enough to hold down the spot for the duration of his five-year contract, he’ll be just the third player to string together a half-decade at Chicago’s hot corner since Santo was traded after the 1973 season, joining Aramis Ramirez and Kris Bryant.
“The intangibles Bregman brings to a team are considerable and real. As for on-field production, he remains consistently good, if below the MVP-ish level he was at for a couple of years in Houston. If Bregman reads these rankings, he might find some motivation in them, as he’s the sixth-ranked third baseman on the list … which is good! But it still feels low for one of the game’s most respected players.”
Indeed, third base has been tough for the Cubs to nail down for a long-term period, as ESPN references. However, Bregman promises to provide some stability there for the next five years.
And in addition to that, ESPN also predicted in their explanation that, “he will climb back over the 25-homer mark this season.”
Bregman played 114 games last season and hit 18 home runs for the Boston Red Sox. Staying healthy and hitting in Wrigley Field could even help him hit 30 or more home runs for the first time since 2019.
