Astros 3B Alex Bregman Rips Fan in DM Who Wanted to Trade Him, Deletes Account

Nothing is ever truly hidden on the internet.

Last weekend, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman direct-messaged a fan who was lamenting the missed chance to trade the 23-year-old to the Chicago White Sox in the offseason for ace Chris Sale.

Bregman wasn't tagged in any of the posts—meaning he sought them out on his own—and, for as dark as many fans can get online, these tweets were downright cordial:

"

Bregman being centerpiece saves you Tucker or Fisher or both. Compared to both being in a deal possibly. With Marwin getting more ABs

"

But good thing we have Bregman. Jesus https://t.co/3qo6WTdnXo

The fan, user @AllenH83, tweeted the screenshots, which featured Bregman questioning his baseball knowledge and calling him a flea "on the nutsack of society."

"

Well, to say I received some odd DMs tonight is an understatement haha. At least I know I have a no trade clause now. pic.twitter.com/qeUeKMogsd

Bregman has since deleted his entire account.
