The Chicago Cubs have made noise this offseason by adding players from the Houston Astros. Kyle Tucker moved to the Windy City in a December trade followed by January’s addition of Ryan Pressly. But Chicago may not be done and a face of Houston’s dynasty is still available.
An Alex Bregman return to the Houston Astros, with whom he's spent his entire professional career to date, is back within the range of possibilities for the free-agent infielder. That's especially the case now that Jose Altuve is reportedly willing to relocate to the outfield to make room for Bregman in a Houston infield that now includes Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker.
After months of negotiations and decisions, the Houston Astros have a real chance to come out on top of the Alex Bregman sweepstakes.
According to a new report, the Chicago Cubs are engaged with free agent third baseman Alex Bregman but are not necessarily in the driver's seat.
Alex Bregman remains a free agent, with the Astros and Cubs among potential remaining suitors for the third baseman. Chicago already has acquired two players from Houston's championship era in Ryan Pressly and Kyle Tucker via separate trades.
The Houston Astros and Alex Bregman are yet to confirm their much awaited reunion. It was reported last week that the player and his agent Scott Boras had resumed negotiations with the club.
The Alex Bregman sweepstakes seem to be heating up, but recent reports suggest that the Cubs might not be willing to keep up in the impending bidding war.
Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.
The Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros agreed to a trade Tuesday that sent reliever Ryan Pressly to the Windy City. The Astros announced they acquired
Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.
As the MLB offseason continues, free agent 3B Alex Bregman has plenty of options, with the Astros, Cubs, Red Sox, and Tigers all in on him.
So far this winter, the Cubs have added two key members of the Astros, Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, both via trade with Houston.
