After three nominations in 2018, 2019 and 2024, Astros’ third baseman Alex Bregman finally won his first Gold Glove, winning it for the American League at third base. Thankfully for him and his agent, Scott Boras, this comes at the heels of Bregman entering free agency and shopping around for a new contract.
This is important to note because Bregman, for the large majority of his career, was never thought of as a “primary defense” type of player. He was someone who was focused on giving you a solid bat with a good eye at the plate, tallying more walks than strikeouts most years.
