The Houston Astros are actively negotiating with free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, who remains a highly sought-after player. His agent, Scott Boras, confirmed ongoing discussions with Astros GM Dana Brown, emphasizing Bregman's strong ties to the team and his impressive career.

While the Astros have extended a six-year, $156 million offer, other teams like the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers are also showing interest. Boras noted that Bregman is open to exploring options with competitive teams.

With recent contracts signed by other top free agents, the market for Bregman is heating up, and the Astros are under pressure to secure their franchise cornerstone.
