While the Houston Astros still have interest in Alex Bregman, their discussions about a potential reunion with the free-agent third baseman have been mostly “internal,” general manager Dana Brown said Tuesday.

The Houston Astros are reportedly eyeing Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco as a potential Alex Bregman replacement.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.

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.

Increasingly, signs point to the possibility of the Houston Astros bringing back free-agent infielder (and Astros lifer) Alex Bregman. The club cleared some payroll space by reportedly agreeing to trade reliever Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs,

With Bregman weighing his options, the Astros could look to target a less expensive player in Polanco who is coming off knee surgery.

HOUSTON — Though the Houston Astros have re-engaged in talks with free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, general manager Dana Brown on Saturday characterized any potential reunion as a “long shot.”

Cora isn’t the only one who’s in favor of signing Bregman. New Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler co-owns a horse with Bregman and revealed he made a pitch to his longtime friend to come join him in Boston. In 2024 for the Astros, Bregman hit .260 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI with a .768 OPS in 145 games.

According to a source, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has very low odds of re-signing with the Houston MLB team after 9 seasons.

Given the latest reporting on the Alex Bregman sweepstakes, Boston Red Sox broadcaster Lou Merloni is ready to move on.

Alex Bregman has tested the market for months, but the Astros still have as good of a chance as anybody in the sweepstakes.
