Alex Bregman Rumors: Astros Manager Eager to Reunite
Houston, USASun Jan 26 2025
This week, a surprising rumor emerged about Alex Bregman, the star baseball player, and the Houston Astros. The team, which initially seemed out of the running, suddenly showed interest again. According to reports, the Astros put a six-year, $156 million contract offer on the table. The team's general manager, Dana Brown, was somewhat surprised that Bregman was still available as a free agent. Manager Joe Espada was even more enthusiastic about the possibility of Bregman returning.
"As I've always said, the door is open. I want him back, " Espada told reporters. "He's still a free agent, and if I could have Alex Bregman back, I'd be thrilled. He brings so much to the team. "
Espada isn't the only one in the Astros clubhouse who wants Bregman's return. Jose Altuve, another star player, has been vocal about his desire to see Bregman back on the team. Altuve is even open to the idea of playing left field to make room for other players like Christian Walker and Issac Paredes in the infield.
With spring training just around the corner, the Astros are hopeful about bringing Bregman back. However, the recent reports have also put pressure on other teams that are also interested in signing the All-Star player.
