Alex Bregman

Ryan Baker from CBS Chicago welcome Alex first of all what's been the reaction from fans as you've made your way around town twice at the United Center and me being a soldier I know my daughters look at to me as a hero and what I'm trying to do is provide them the blueprint and I want to try to put them in the same situation where they can continue to be the best versions of themselves start your comeback awesome I feel like there is an excitement in the air about Cubs baseball and

I can't wait to get after it and get out there on the field and play for them.

Actually, Reagan and I were getting dinner when the deal broke in the fourth quarter and we had the game on, and I said, this could go one of two ways.

I hope they come back and win.

Are you going to the game Sunday?

Yeah, I'm going to go to the game Sunday, so hopefully stay warm.

I want to add on that.

I feel like, you know, I certainly wasn't planning on having that news break during the Bears game.

I was just sitting there at home watching the game with my boys.

But the last two deals I've done with Scott, one of them we signed Matt Boyd at 2 in the morning on Sunday.

And we signed Alex in the afternoon.

in the third or fourth quarter of the Bears game on a Saturday night.

So you never quite know when deals are going to get done.

It wasn't ideal timing, but it ended up kind of perfect.

I think it was 21-6.

They were down when the news broke.

So I think the Bears fans will be excited to see Alex at the game.

And also, I would say, he was talking about this city and

it's just been so great to see the city alive and talking about the bears and it's been an incredible run and it's a great team to watch.

So I think in a lot of ways it's kind of inspirational for us too, that you want to, you know, we had that this October for a bit and you want to get back there because the city really does respond when you're winning.
