  • "There is still a strong capacity for the Red Sox to sign a major free agent, and that free-agent could be Alex Bregman."

The article from Chron.com discusses the Houston Astros' decision to retain third baseman Alex Bregman, despite trade rumors linking him to the Boston Red Sox. Bregman, who has been a key player for the Astros since his debut in 2016, was speculated to be on the trading block due to his high salary and the team's need to manage their payroll. However, Astros' General Manager Dana Brown confirmed that Bregman would not be traded, emphasizing his value to the team both on and off the field. The article highlights Bregman's performance, including his role in the Astros' 2017 World Series win, his consistent hitting, and his leadership qualities. It also touches on the Red Sox's interest in bolstering their infield and how Bregman could have been a significant addition to their lineup. Despite the trade speculation, the Astros are committed to keeping their core players together as they aim for another championship run.
