Alex Bregman is one of baseball's loudest smack-talkers. His mocking has only gotten more defiant while the Astros have become the sport's villains since 2017's sign-stealing scandal. He loves playing the villain.
So it shouldn't be a surprise that Houston's third baseman had words for doubters and critics as the team celebrated winning the AL West division on Sunday.
"A lot of people were wondering what it was gonna be like if the 'Stros didn't win the division," Bregman said to his teammates. "I guess we'll never know."
