Cubs' Alex Bregman criticizes his play amid team's struggles

Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman expressed disappointment in his performance this season, stating, "I've been terrible." After an extra-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants, where he went 0-for-5, Bregman acknowledged failing to execute, especially with runners in scoring position, leading MLB with 143 left on base. He attributed part of the Cubs' recent struggles, with a record of 7-19 since a ten-game winning streak, to his own lack of production. Bregman, who signed a five-year, $175 million contract, has a batting average of just.083 in June. His defensive skills remain strong, but he has seen a noticeable drop in offensive power this season with only five home runs overall.
