Overview

• Alex Bregman has rejected the Astros' six-year, $156 million offer, seeking a longer-term deal worth over $200 million.
• The Detroit Tigers have reportedly made a six-year offer, but its value is slightly below Bregman’s expectations, leaving his future uncertain.
• The Chicago Cubs have entered the race, potentially offering Bregman a short-term, high-AAV deal to address their need at third base after trading Isaac Paredes.
• Other teams, including the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, are also reportedly interested in signing Bregman, adding to the competitive market for the free agent.
• Bregman’s consistent performance, including a 122 OPS+ since 2020 and a Gold Glove win last season, makes him a valuable asset despite concerns about his aging into his mid-30s.
