Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.

Despite Bregman's impressive resume, interest from other teams has been somewhat muted due to his age and recent offensive decline. He turns 31 in March and is coming off the lowest OPS (.768) of his career, which could be scaring potential suitors from making a long-term commitment to him.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.
