After a stellar nine-year career with the Houston Astros, third baseman Alex Bregman has moved onto the Boston Red Sox on a three-year, $120 million deal.

As he moved onto his next chapter, Bregman offered his sincere gratitude to the city of Houston, his former organization and Astros fans in a heartfelt message posted on his Instagram Friday.

Bregman excelled in Houston, winning a pair of World Series titles and making two All-Star Games.

The one-time Gold Glover and one-time Silver Slugger finished top five in the American League MVP race in 2018 and 2019, finishing runner-up to Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout in the latter year despite his MLB-leading 8.9 WAR, per Baseball-Reference.

In nine years, Bregman hit .272 (.848 OPS) with 191 home runs and 663 RBI. He also posted a 132 OPS+ and amassed a 39.6 WAR.

It was a great stint in town, especially after helping deliver the franchise's first and second World Series victories. He's moved to Boston now, but not before expressing a big thank you to Houston on the way out.
