The Houston Astros face a pivotal offseason as they consider whether to re-sign third baseman Alex Bregman, a key player in their recent success. With Bregman turning 31 soon, he is expected to command a significant contract, possibly exceeding the recent six-year, $151 million deal given to Matt Chapman.
Despite a high payroll, the Astros have been cautious with long-term contracts, raising questions about their willingness to meet Bregman's demands. The team has a history of letting star players like George Springer and Carlos Correa leave in free agency, complicating Bregman's situation further.
With no clear successor for Bregman at third base, the Astros may need to weigh their options carefully, considering both payroll constraints and the potential impact on their roster's future.
