Alex Bregman Becomes Free Agent After Astros Exit

Alex Bregman, a key player for the Houston Astros and two-time World Series champion, has entered free agency, sparking interest from several MLB teams. The New York Yankees are a notable contender, potentially moving Jazz Chisholm Jr. to second base to accommodate Bregman if Juan Soto's free agency decision allows them the budget. The Seattle Mariners are also interested, needing offensive reinforcements to complement their strong pitching lineup. Bregman, who hit .260 with 26 home runs in 2024, could fill the Mariners' third base gap, helping them contend in the AL West. The Detroit Tigers, having improved their performance in 2024, see Bregman as a potential boost to their lineup, especially with a reunion with manager A.J. Hinch. With a projected four-year, $119 million contract, Bregman's decision will significantly impact the Astros and whichever team he chooses to join.
