The Houston Astros are at a crossroads this offseason regarding Alex Bregman, their star third baseman who is now a free agent. With numerous teams interested, Bregman's potential move to second base could widen his market appeal.
Despite a slow start last season, Bregman posted solid numbers, including 26 home runs and a Gold Glove Award for his defensive prowess. His leadership and championship experience make him invaluable to the Astros.
While the franchise has let homegrown stars go in the past, predictions suggest they might work to retain Bregman this time, especially given the lack of viable replacements. The Astros must bridge the gap in contract negotiations to keep him on board.
