Alex Bregman pens heartfelt farewell to Astros fans after Red Sox signing
His words might help the Houston Astros fans,who are still processing his departure, get the closure they need. “Dear Houston, From the moment I put on an Astros uniform, I felt the love, the passion, and the energy of this city,” Bregman posted on Instagram.
“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 this 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 has always come together in a way only this city can,” the 30-year-old continued. “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.”
Alex Bregman was sometimes overshadowed, but never forgotten
One will not find many more final addresses that are as touching as that one. Bregman is heading to Boston after signing a three-year, $120 million contract earlier this week (opt-outs for 2026 and 2027), but he is making sure to thoroughly reflect on his time in Houston.
The No. 2 overall selection in the 2015 MLB Draft achieved substantial success with the Astros, winning two World Series championships and four American League pennants while advancing to the AL Championship Series an astounding seven straight times. It was not all hunky-dory, of course, as the the franchise became mired in an elaborate sign-stealing scandal that tarnished its reputation.
