Astros and Alex Bregman Reportedly $50 Million Apart in Free Agency Talks
Houston is seeking to retain the All-Star third baseman on a six-year, $156 million deal, but Bregman is reportedly holding out for a contract exceeding $200 million.
- The Houston Astros and Alex Bregman are reportedly far apart in contract negotiations, with a $44-$50 million gap between their offers.
- Houston has proposed a six-year, $156 million deal, while Bregman and his agent, Scott Boras, are seeking a contract worth at least $200 million.
- Bregman, a two-time All-Star and 2024 Gold Glove winner, has played his entire nine-year MLB career with the Astros and helped secure three World Series titles.
- The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Philadelphia Phillies are rumored to be potential suitors if Houston cannot meet Bregman's demands.
- Re-signing Bregman would likely push the Astros further into the luxury tax, a factor that could influence the team's willingness to meet his asking price.
