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 Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the All-Star third baseman hasn't had any new movement with the incumbent Houston Astros.

Jeff Passan of ESPN said on Wednesday that he cannot believe the New York Yankees are not pursuing free agent Alex Bregman, given the team's infield needs.

The Houston Astros are now considered the favorites to win the Alex Bregman sweepstakes in free agency this winter.

Houston general manger Dana Brown says discussions about possible reunion with free agent Alex Bregman have been mostly 'internal.'

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.

Alex Bregman is one of the top names left on the free agent market, but the Boston Red Sox don't appear to be in the running.

The Astros front office continues to hold those internal discussions as they look for something that can make sense for the team and their All-Star third baseman.

At 26, former Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson had to settle for a backup role with Orioles after Tampa Bay turned him loose.

Reliever Ryan Pressly had one knock on Kyle Tucker, his longtime Astros teammate and the Cubs ’ new star right fielder. “Not the best fantasy football owner, I know that,” Pressly said in his introductory news conference over Zoom this week.

Jorge Polanco is staying in Seattle. The veteran infielder signed a one-year deal with a vesting option for 2026 with the Mariners on Thursday.
