Part 8/9:
Among the surprises of the day was the news that Alex Bregman could potentially head back to the Houston Astros, after the door had seemed closed on a reunion. Trade rumors involving Ryan Presley hinted at financial flexibility for the Astros, potentially paving the way for Bregman’s return. He likely remains a sought-after piece for Houston, which could find itself in a situation where retaining him becomes more feasible than pursuing external options.
Given the complicated dynamics of trades and free agency, many believe that Bregman's best option may genuinely lie with the Astros, particularly as the market for him has dwindled, making the prospect increasingly realistic.
