Alex Bregman Appears on New Eastbay Catalog Cover With Extremely Ironic Slogan
The Houston Astros are set to begin Spring Training soon, and that means facing daily questions about their eternal sign-stealing scandal. All we have gotten so far are smug reactions and non-answers.
Alex Bregman was at the heart of the scandal, and recently appeared on the Eastbay catalog cover. The caption? Well, some jokes just write themselves.

Always earned? Never given? Let's fix that and go with: "Always given. Never earned. Usually buzzed."
The best part about the above tweet is that it is from former MLB pitcher C.J. Wilson, who just couldn't help himself from joining in on the Astros hate.

There are going to be plenty examples of clear hypocrisy from the Astros this season, and the Eastbay cover is one of the first and most obvious. The entire "noboby believes in us" narrative should be enough to drive fans crazy as well.
Bregman's past success is now tainted, and at least fans can have a bit of a laugh at the scandal with the ironic catalog cover.
