It’s unusual to find players like Alex Bregman to be on the free-agent market for a long time. After winning two World Series titles and staying consistent with his performance, Bregman is undoubtedly one of the finest third basemen of his time. Moreover, his ability to play shortstop and his potential to hit home runs gives him an advantage.
The Houston Astros want Bregman to return to the team. General Manager Dana Brown said he’s happy to have Bregman back. However, they have not done anything to get him back. Instead, the Astros were lagging behind.

Now that the demand for Alex Bregman is high, the Astros are trying their best to stay ahead in the race. The latest buzz is that the Astros are discussing a proposal for Bregman. Rumors are that they plan on making a strong offer to the star slugger due to the tough competition.
No further details are provided about the discussions between Bregman and the Astros. Jon Heyman believes that the Astros have finally made Bregman an offer.
Detroit Tigers And Arizona Diamondbacks Show Interest In Alex Bregman
The Detroit Tigers are believed to be linked with Alex Bregman. The third baseman has a bond with manager A.J. Hinch. While several fans expect Bregman to reunite with Hinch, he still seems far-fetched for the team.
The Tigers might not be able to afford Bregman, and the Astros will try to beat their offer. The Boston Red Sox are also rumored to be pursuing the free agent. However, they have been linked with too many players, and no deals have come through.
Apart from the Tigers and the Astros, the Arizona Diamondbacks are looking for ways to connect with Bregman. The D’backs are keen on adding an outfielder to their lineup. Bregman will fit the bill as a perfect candidate. Arizona’s General Manager Mike Hazen said that few center fielders are available in the market.
It’s unclear what the D’backs want, but whatever it is, Bregman has an advantage. The Astros will do their best to pick up the pace and sign Bregman as soon as possible before it’s too late.
