Bregman Under Fire After Tough Play | Chicago News

Alex Bregman’s big-money Cubs contract is under fire after a sluggish play last Sunday that fans and announcers didn’t miss — a ground ball he didn’t run hard enough on, leading to a costly out. Already struggling this season with low slugging and batting stats, especially in June, Bregman admits he wishes he’d beaten the throw — and he’s got a history of soft-tissue injuries that make him cautious. But team president Jed Hoyer still believes in him, citing his work ethic and predicting a power surge soon. With the Cubs’ offense needing a boost amid pitching woes, Bregman’s gotta deliver — or face even more scrutiny. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
