Alex Bregman shares emotional Father’s Day post for dad Sam Bregman during recovery
On Sunday, June 16, 2025, Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman posted a heartfelt message on Instagram for his father, Sam Bregman, on the occasion of Father’s Day. In the post, Alex included old family pictures and wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to the best dad, grandfather, and role model. We love you so much and are so thankful for you.”This post came while Alex is recovering from a right quad strain suffered on May 23, 2025, which has kept him off the field. Even though he is doing long rehab sessions—up to 12 hours a day, according to team sources—he made time to express his love and appreciation for his dad.Sam Bregman has always been close to Alex. A former college baseball player himself, Sam passed down his passion for the sport to his son. He has said in interviews that he is proudest of “the kind of man Alex is off the field.” The Bregman family’s love for baseball goes back generations. Alex’s grandfather once worked with legendary Red Sox hitter Ted Williams.This Father’s Day also had extra meaning, as Alex and his wife Reagan Bregman recently welcomed their second child earlier in 2025, making them a family of four. Red Sox manager Alex Cora had hinted in early June that Alex had “a few family things coming up.”
