Jose Altuve Yainer Diaz, Yordan Alvarez, Jeremy Pena, Yuli Gurriel & more react to Alex Bregman’s..
MLB announced the Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners for the 2024 season on Sunday and Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman won his maiden title with the team.
Bregman was one of the best and most consistent third basemans in the American League and was hailed by his teammates for beating finalists Ernie Clement of the Toronto Blue Jays and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians.
Bregman shared the reaction of his teammates in his Instagram stories after winning his first Gold Glove title.
“Congratulations Kiddd!! left side!!!” World Series MVP and Babe Ruth Award winner Jeremy Pena wrote.
“Let’s goooooo,” Nine-time All-Star Jose Altuve reacted to Bregman’s win.
World Series champions Yordan Alvarez, Yuli Gurriel and Yanier Diaz also congratulated Alex Bregman on Sunday.
“Well deserved,” Diaz wrote in his Instagram story.
Bregman’s first Gold Glove win with the Astros could be his last with the franchise as the All-Star third baseman will be a free agent in the offseason. Bregman has been with the Astros for the entirety of his MLB career, making his debut with the team in 2016.
Alex Bregman and his wife Reagan Elizabeth react to the Gold Glove win
Alex Bregman is the first Astros third baseman to win the Gold Glove Award since Doug Rader’s five consecutive wins with the team from 1970–1974. Bregman was elated with the win, thanking everyone for the support, including former Padres coordinator, Ryan Barba.
“I just want to say ‘Thank you’ to every current and past coaches and teammates that have made this possible and especially, ‘Thank you’ to Ryan Barba, who we dreamed about this when we were taking ground balls at 15 years at the University of New Mexico,” Bregman told MLB.com
“I’m pretty pumped and it’s an honor to win, especially with such great nominees from the American League.”
Bregman’s wife Reagan Elizabeth shared an Instagram story reacting to the news.
The Astros are expected to table an offer for Bregman in free agency but they might find it tough to get his signature as teams will be looking at the All-Star slugger with limited options available at third base this offseason.
