The Houston Astros are focusing on re-signing third baseman Alex Bregman as their top offseason priority, according to general manager Dana Brown. With the winter meetings approaching, the outcome of outfielder Juan Soto's free agency may impact Bregman's market and the Astros' plans.

While the Astros have not set a deadline for negotiations, they aim to finalize a deal soon, as keeping Bregman would likely require a record contract. The team faces challenges with its payroll and potential trades, complicating their ability to make other roster improvements.
