If free agent third baseman Alex Bregman wants a lengthy contract this offseason, it doesn't sound like he'll get it from the Boston Red Sox.
A top MLB insider implied this weekend that following the Houston Astros trade on Sunday, an Alex Bregman reunion is a near-lock.
Cora isn’t the only one who’s in favor of signing Bregman. New Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler co-owns a horse with Bregman and revealed he made a pitch to his longtime friend to come join him in Boston. In 2024 for the Astros, Bregman hit .260 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI with a .768 OPS in 145 games.
Houston Astros star infielder Alex Bregman is likely going to receive a contract worth nearly $200 million this winter.
Astros star Jose Altuve is "willing to do whatever," including switching positions, to keep Alex Bregman with Houston.
If Bregman is back in Houston, team sources indicated he would play third base in place of Isaac Paredes, whom the Astros acquired as part of the three-player package for Tucker. In that scenario, both Paredes and Altuve could face a position change.
The Chicago Cubs could swoop into the $200 million Alex Bregman sweepstakes and steal the star infielder from the Houston Astros.
Reliever Ryan Pressly has agreed to waive his no-trade rights and accept a trade from the Houston Astros to the Chicago Cubs, a person with knowledge of the decision confirmed Sunday, in a move that could in turn increase the Astros’ chances of a reunion with free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman.
The Astros held their annual FanFest Saturday where general manager Dana Brown, manager Joe Espada and longtime teammate Jose Altuve addressed their hope to keep Bregman in Housto
Houston Astros career second baseman Jose Altuve is so eager for former teammate Alex Bregman to potentially return to the squad, the nine-time All-Star is willing to move to left field.
Talks between the two sides eventually broke down, and it seemed like Bregman was bound to continue his career elsewhere. But as days turned into weeks and Bregman remained on the market, it began to seem more and more like no team was able or willing to beat Houston's offer.
