The Scott Boras client is looking to cash in this winter. A reunion with the Astros makes a lot of sense and seems like the most likely outcome. But Bregman is remaining open-minded about his future, which will allow his market to be bigger than initially expected.
According to reports, the New York Mets have decided what their offseason goals will be. The two players that David Stearns, president of baseball operations, is most concerned about are outfielder Juan Soto and starting pitcher Corbin Burnes. However, is there a chance that Alex Bregman, the third baseman for the Houston Astros, will travel to Queens? In 2024, Bregman’s OPS of.768 was the lowest of his career in a single season. He battled through a poor start to get his year back on track, so that number is misleading. Even yet, his final stats of 26 home runs, 75 RBI, and 79 runs scored in 634 plate appearances are comparable to his recent output.
At the GM Meetings, Boras revealed that Bregman is open to playing second base if the opportunity arises. Mark Vientos is in charge of the Mets’ hot corner if he doesn’t switch positions. Thus, the fascinating two-time All-Star is a good fit for their roster.
Five Editors and writers for USA Today MLB made predictions on the top free agents this winter. The Astros received the most votes overall (two), but opinions on Bregman’s future were largely divided. Jesse Yomtov, though, believes he will sign with the Mets. Bregman’s contract negotiations will probably begin with Matt Chapman’s six-year, $151 million pact with the San Francisco Giants. R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports predicts he will sign a $162 million, six-year contract.
