MLB free agency began approximately two and a half months ago, but Alex Bregman still doesn't have a contract. The two-time All-Star third baseman has spent his entire career in Houston where he's won two World Series, but the two sides have not been able to make a deal. Bregman and agent Scott Boras turned down a six-year, $156 million offer from the Astros earlier this winter, but remains unsigned.
The Astros still appear optimistic that something can get done with a pitchers and catchers due to report in less than a month. Houston manager Joe Espada was asked about Bregman last week and revealed that he considered the player a friend and had been in contact with him throughout the offseason.
