Alex Bregman reveals Cubs $115,000,000 teammate’s adorable friendship with his 3-yr-old son Knox
The Chicago Cubs signed All-Star infielder Alex Bregman on a blockbuster five-year, $175 million deal in the offseason. The two-time World Series champion and his family are getting help from his new Cubs teammate in Chicago.
Bregman shared in the Players’ Tribune that his son Knox has bonded with Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who helped him overcome his nervousness after the move to Chicago.
The All-Star third baseman recalled that Crow-Armstrong helped out Knox when he was being quiet after Cubs clubhouse manager Danny Mueller brought out a whiffle ball and bat. Crow-Armstrong, who signed a six-year, $115 million contract this month, threw pitches to Bregman’s son and bonded with him during their game.
“So then we go home after the game, and some time passes, and now we’re flying down to Houston for the WBC,” Bregman wrote. “Knox makes the trip with the team. He sees Pete during the flight, and it’s like …….. “HEY IT’S MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!”
“His favorite, though? By a mile? That’s Pete. Or as Knox calls him…. ‘Pete Crow-Armstrong!!!!!!’”
While Crow-Armstrong is gearing towards his third season with the team, his Team USA teammate Bregman is set for his Cubs debut against the Washington Nationals on Thursday.
