Astros GM Dismisses Bregman Trade Rumors
Despite Contract Expiry in 2024, Astros Committed to Keeping Star Third Baseman
- Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown has dismissed rumors of trading star third baseman Alex Bregman, stating that the team is not interested in trading him.
- Bregman's contract is set to expire after the 2024 season, but the Astros have not been in recent negotiations for a possible extension.
- Bregman, a two-time All-Star, will make $28.5 million this season in the final year of a $100 million, five-year contract he signed in 2019.
- Other star players of the Astros, second baseman Jose Altuve and outfielder Kyle Tucker, will also be free agents after the 2025 season, and there have been no recent contract talks with them either.
- Despite the financial challenges, the Astros are committed to championship contention in 2024, which requires keeping Bregman.
