New Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman extended his arm through the blue-pinstriped jersey that bore the Cubs logo on its front and a No. 3 on its back.
Cameras clicked around the new conference room at the team’s offices across from Wrigley Field, capturing the first images of Bregman in a Cubs jersey since agreeing to a five-year contract over the weekend.
“I wore number three because I wanted a third championship,” Bregman said during his introductory press conference on Thursday.
Bregman’s two World Series Championships were with the Astros, in 2017 – when the team was embroiled in a sign-stealing scandal – and 2022.
