- Alex Bregman to Appear at Charity Golf Event Before His Cubs Debut
The Chicago Cubs have had an eventful offseason as the organization looks to continue taking a step forward in 2026. The Cubs are coming off a season in which they made the MLB playoffs and have responded aggressively in free agency, with the biggest splash being the signing of third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million contract.
Chicago managed to steal him away from the Boston Red Sox and add a proven veteran presence to a young, emerging roster full of talent.

With Bregman's future secured in Chicago, he has remained fully focused on his training at his facility in Arizona . Even so, he continues to build his profile off the field as one of baseball's most recognizable players.

Over the weekend, Bregman made off-field news when it was announced that he would be appearing at the Annexus Pro-Am, joining Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners as MLB's most notable attendees.
The event, held in Arizona where Bregman has already been training, is a golf tournament that pairs PGA Tour professionals with celebrities and athletes with the proceeds benefiting local charities. Bregman shared the announcement on his Instagram story , reposting the promotional graphic from the WM Phoenix Open.
Soon enough, Bregman's attention will shift fully toward his first season with the Cubs, where his goals remain the same as always. He will look to continue producing at a high level while serving as the veteran presence the emerging Cubs roster needs.

Last season with the Red Sox, Bregman posted a .273 batting average, .360 on base percentage, .821 OPS, 18 home runs and 62 RBIs across 114 appearances.
He has shown he still has plenty left in the tank, and the future in Chicago looks promising as the Cubs aim to win the American League Central and leapfrog the Milwaukee Brewers , their division rival.
