While I remain far less bullish on the potential acquisition and subsequent impact of Alex Bregman, especially since that probably means parting with either Nico Hoerner or Seiya Suzuki, I think it’s important to ensure we’re having intellectually honest conversations about it. As such, I was drawn in by the reactions to comments ESPN’s Paul Hembekides made in a conversation with Buster Olney on the Baseball Tonight podcast. You can watch the clip below and I’ve also transcribed it.
