It's safe to say that veteran third baseman Alex Bregman doesn't need another spring training tune-up to prepare for the 2026 MLB regular season.
On Tuesday's Cactus League finale for the Chicago Cubs, Bregman hit his fourth home run of spring training and ended day with a decent enough slash line this spring of .500/ .565/ 1.150/ 1.715 across 23 plate appearances.

The former Boston Red Sox third baseman looks like he's ready to go.
Boston, meanwhile has moved on and is looking well-equipped with its new-look infield alignment for 2026. Caleb Durbin and Willson Contreras are newcomers at third and first base, respectively, while Marcelo Mayer will be the club's starting second baseman. Notably, Mayer will have plenty of days off against left-handed pitching.
Red Sox fans will no doubt be following Bregman's career in Chicago, but a guy like Durbin is bound to rapidly become a fan-favorite at Fenway Park.
Bregman's absence in the clubhouse will be felt, but Boston added another vet in Contreras who brings years of experience to the mix, as well as a recent WBC victory as a member of Team Venezuela alongside fellow Red Sox Wilyer Abreu.
Meanwhile, Trevor Story has reportedly taken on the role of "Unc" in Boston's 2026 clubhouse, doing much to lead the clubhouse with a veteran savvy in his own right.
The regular season for the Red Sox begins on Thursday. Let the games begin.
