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.”
Despite the club's wariness to sign the veteran infielder to a big free-agent contract, it's hard to overlook the potential fit of Bregman with the Red Sox for the 2025 season.
With rumors swirling about Alex Bregman possibly returning to the Astros, general manager discussed those talks at FanFest on Saturday.
Drafted second overall by the Astros in 2015, Alex Bregman helped the team win World Series titles in 2017 and 2022.
If Bregman is back in Houston, team sources indicated he would play third base in place of Isaac Paredes, whom the Astros acquired as part of the three-player package for Tucker. In that scenario, both Paredes and Altuve could face a position change.
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.
There are still plenty of free agents waiting to sign and trade candidates waiting to move, and as such there will be no shortage of activity between now and the start of camp. Speaking of all that, here now are Friday's hot stove rumors.

Los Angeles Dodgers free agent Kiké Hernández did not hold back when a San Diego Padres fans randomly took a shot at him.
Alex Bregman, a notable player for the Houston Astros, has a close relationship with teammate Zach Greinke's wife, Emily. Reagan Elizabeth Bregman, Alex's wife, shared a heartfelt Instagram story thanking Emily for freshly baked sourdough bread,
“The Sox have remained engaged on Bregman, but multiple sources said as of earlier this week, the team’s interest had been in a deal of no more than four years,” writes Spier. “For now, it seems unlikely Bregman would accept a contract of that length.”
