Part 6/9:
On the player side of negotiations, Alex Bregman remains a prominent name still available on the market. Currently, discussions involve several teams, including the Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and his former team, the Houston Astros. However, as clubs hesitate to extend long-term offers, Bregman's future remains uncertain.
Among the rumored offers, the Astros have reportedly put forth a proposition of six years for $156 million, yet it has not been sufficient to secure Bregman’s commitment. With the landscape continuously shifting, one has to wonder if Bregman might lean towards a shorter “bridge” contract, allowing him the potential to re-enter the market sooner.
