The Chicago Cubs are kicking off spring training this week, and the buzz isn’t limited to the fan base — the players are clearly eager to get back on the field too.
With pitchers and catchers scheduled to report on Wednesday, several players have already arrived early to get a head start, including Chicago’s newest star, third baseman Alex Bregman.
After signing the richest average annual value deal in Cubs history, Bregman has consistently shared his excitement about joining the team and playing in Chicago. As camp gets underway, he ramped up that enthusiasm even more, energizing fans with a fresh post on his X account.
Bregman let Cubs fans know he’s ready to go
Bregman has been soaking in life in Chicago since joining the team, appearing at Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks games over the past few weeks. But with Cubs training camp set to begin, Bregman let the fanbase know he’s ready for the season.
Taking to his X account, Bregman wrote, “Day 1 @Cubs Let’s go!”
Bregman has always spent his offseason in Arizona, so it seems he has arrived to Mesa early as he plans on getting set for the first full squad workout next week. Oftentimes, a huge chunk of the players report on the same day as pitchers and catchers, but clearly Bregman is even further ahead of the game.
With football season officially wrapping up last night, fans in Chicago can officially say it’s baseball season. And by signing Bregman and others, those same fans are as excited for a season as they’ve been in some time now.
It seems safe to say the spring training headlines are about to be flying around.

Bregman’s arrival may be the most eagerly awaited debut by a new player in Chicago history, and seeing him match that level of enthusiasm is exactly what Cubs fans want to see.
With spring officially underway, fans will soon get their first real glimpse of the new star, a storyline that’s expected to dominate camp in Mesa. Exhibition games are set to begin in a few weeks and run for about a month, and the excitement surrounding Bregman is already on the verge of reaching a fever pitch.
The three-time All-Star appears to be embracing every moment, making it clear he’s just as thrilled to be in Chicago as the fans are to welcome him. All the signs point to a potentially special season, with Bregman positioned right at the heart of it.
