All-Star Slugger Alex Bregman Predicted to Betray Astros, Sign With AL Contender [Video]

Free agent third baseman Alex Bregman is the best position player still on the open market. While a reunion with the Houston Astros technically remains possible, it doesn’t seem likely. Is this the perfect opportunity for a team like the Boston Red Sox to sign him to a big-money deal?

The Astros have already prepared for life without Bregman at the hot corner by trading for third baseman Isaac Paredes and signing first baseman Christian Walker. Boston has been linked to the two-time All-Star slugger for multiple reasons.

Bregman would bring a right-handed bat to manager Alex Cora’s lineup, which is something the club has wanted to do all winter. The 30-year-old could be plugged in at second base, or he could take over third base so Rafael Devers could move to first.
