Alex Bregman is one of the more intriguing names on the MLB free agency market, but if you’ve got third base sewn up, you don’t necessarily need a two-time All-Star who consistently drives in runs.
But what if you needed a second baseman who could do that? And that’s where the latest report makes a difference.
Per USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale: “Bregman has spent his entire career with the Houston Astros, has received interest from several teams asking whether he’d be willing to move to second base, which he’s amenable to doing.”
That might drive up his value to teams clamoring to outbid the Houston Astros, who would most certainly want to bring back one of the cornerstones of the franchise. If a team like, say, the New York Yankees don’t re-sign Juan Soto, they can hand Bregman a chunk of change to play second.
Smart.
