Leave it to Alex Bregman to try and stir up a little controversy.
The All-Star third baseman for the Houston Astros had a breakout season at the plate in 2018, hitting 31 home runs and finishing fifth in the American League MVP voting, while also having a breakout season on social media. He's one of the few stars in baseball who seems to want the spotlight on him and now he's stirring things up a bit with the Red Sox, the team that eliminated the Astros in the ALCS.
"After watching the Patriots win and with the Red Sox beating us last year, there's no other city that I would like to beat more this year than Boston," he said recently on the "Going Deep with Chad and JT" podcast featuring Chad Kroeger and JT Parr.
