COMMENTARY
Five years ago Monday was Mookie Betts. Alex Bregman is many good things. They all exist in the context of that, and they always will.
Ugh, does that feel reductive and heelish, but what can I do? If we’re going to get cigar pictures for what used to feel like just another offseason Wednesday, do we not need to take a minute and reorient ourselves?
Bregman changes our short-term reality, and we should all have spent these last 24 hours beaming about that as we have. Who doesn’t love when a plan comes together?
