Dana Brown spoke today on Ryan Pressly, Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve and the current Astros' roster. Read all about it on MLB Trade Rumors.
It seems that the Astros are now all about Alex Bregman! The post Alex Bregman’s Houston Dreams Get a Major Boost After Astros GM Dana Brown’s “Cracked” Comment appeared first on EssentiallySports.
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.
Alex Bregman's fate is still unclear with suitors like the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers apparently far away from a deal.
Bregman, who has played his entire nine-year career with the Astros, hit .260 with a .768 OPS, 26 home runs and 75 RBIs and won his first Gold Glove at the hot corner in 2024.
If money was the issue standing between Alex Bregman and a reunion with the Houston Astros, that issue has been taken care of after the team shipped reliever Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs.
Astros GM Dana Brown admitted his relationship with Ryan Pressly suffered over the last year before Houston traded him to the Cubs.
The trade of Ryan Pressly and Jose Altuve’s willingness to move from second base to left field has renewed hope that the Houston Astros may be able to re-sign Alex Bregman. That’s a huge change from just five weeks ago when general manager Dana Brown termed the negotiations with the free agent third baseman as “stalled” and appeared to close the door on a possible reunion.
Dana Brown made it sound unlikely that an Alex Bregman reunion with the Houston Astros was in the cards, but didn't rule it out completely.
During the Ryan Pressly trade conference call Tuesday, Astros GM Dana Brown acknowledged the team has talked internally about a reunion with Alex Bregman, though he added he has not yet reached out to agent Scott Boras.
Pressly never aired any grievances publicly and continued to serve as a model teammate throughout his uneven 2024 season.
