Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.

Alex Bregman has tested the market for months, but the Astros still have as good of a chance as anybody in the sweepstakes.

The Houston Astros are reportedly still in pursuit of free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman as of Tuesday morning. Houston's brass also appears to have a cost-effective replacement in mind should Bregman seek greener pastures before next season.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.

During the Ryan Pressly trade conference call Tuesday, Astros GM Dana Brown acknowledged the team has talked internally about a reunion with Alex Bregman, though he added he has not yet reached out to agent Scott Boras.
