As for what he wanted from his beautiful home in the Windy City, Bregman admitted he had just one big question: a backyard with enough space for him to play baseball with his children, who already show a deep love for the game that turned their father into a star.

“When we’re being shown around, I go straight to the backyard to see if there’s a place to play baseball with the kids. Reagan looks after everything else,” he joked.
