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.

Alex Bregman remains on the free agent market despite having teams interested in him. The Houston Astros — the only team Bregman’s played for in his nine-year MLB career — remain in the mix for the infielder and are “trying to bring him back,” MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported Monday.

The Houston Astros are now considered the favorites to win the Alex Bregman sweepstakes in free agency this winter.

The Houston Astros are back in the running for Alex Bregman, but they will have to contend with a couple other teams in need of help at third base.

The Houston Astros are reportedly still in pursuit of free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman as of Tuesday morning. Houston's brass also appears to have a cost-effective replacement in mind should Bregman seek greener pastures before next season.

The Astros are eager to bring Alex Bregman back to Houston and have offered him a new contract. According to the renowned New York Post columnist Jon Heyman, the Texas team’s management is ready to strike a deal with the All-Star third baseman from the MLB for $156 million over six years.
