Rosenthal: When the Red Sox drafted Alex Bergman' in 2012, plus more MLB notes
Briefly

The article discusses the humorous yet regretful memory from 2012 when Alex Bregman was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 29th round. A mix-up in pronunciation during the announcement led to a longstanding joke among the scouting team. Fred Petersen recalls the moment, and while there was a miscommunication regarding Bregman's name, the truth remains that the Red Sox ultimately could not afford to sign him, which significantly impacted their prospects.
I just misread the card. Bregman, in a text, said he was not aware of Petersen's miscue.
Ami said... that when he called Bregman to congratulate him, Alex was all pissed off. I can't believe guys would mispronounce my name.
