By now, Boston Red Sox slugger Alex Bregman should have been the talk of the town, but not in just the conventional sense of his record-tying World Series showing. After his second child was born, Bregman opted to return to the team on the day after the baby was born, rather than the maximum period of paternity leave that Major League Baseball permits.
Alex Bregman’s early return highlights his commitment to the Red SoxAlex Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox in February after spending nine seasons with the Houston Astros. Bregman turned down offers that would have kept him in town longer—the Detroit Tigers offered him six years and $171.5 million, among other clubs—to play in Boston, where he found the organization's “championship culture” important, and to give his wife a chance to attend Harvard Business School.
At first, there were questions about where Bregman would play in the Red Sox’s infield, what with Rafael Devers holding down third base. But Devers eventually moved to designated hitter, clearing the way for Bregman to slide into third. Bregman has posted strong numbers since the beginning of the season, including a five-hit performance on April 15 when he hit two home runs and had four RBIs in a victory against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Alex Bregman’s leadership goes beyond the field, inspiring his new teammatesBregman, coming in between paternity leave, has elicited admiration from teammates and coaches, and is an illustration of his dedication to the team. The veteran pitcher Garrett Crochet, also a newcomer to the Red Sox this year, valued Bregman’s work ethic and his leadership, calling him someone “ who just brings a certain intensity to our clubhouse.”
The Red Sox are attempting to get back to contention for the playoffs following a .500 last season. Bregman’s contribution both on and off the field is invaluable. His ability to make team needs more important than personal ones—especially in moments that would absolutely necessitate otherwise—reflects the culture of accountability, excellence, and togetherness that the Celtics are trying to foster in the 2019-20 season.
In a game in which leadership often presents itself in a series of whispers, Bregman is shouting against all that silence, making it clear that his influence is not restricted to being one of the best players but heading the Red Sox on their search for what they hope will be a special October.
