Alex Bregman struggles with Cubs after leaving Red Sox in free agency

Alex Bregman, who signed a five-year, $175 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, is not performing as expected this season. Bregman has a.246 batting average with six home runs, significantly lower than his.273 average and All-Star performance with the Boston Red Sox last year. His struggles appear pronounced at Wrigley Field, where he is hitting just.200 with two home runs in 35 games, compared to a.295 average on the road. His previous success with the Red Sox included key offensive metrics that have not translated to his new team. The Cubs now face questions about their recent acquisition as Bregman's performance varies significantly between home and away games.
