After months of negotiations and decisions, the Houston Astros have a real chance to come out on top of the Alex Bregman sweepstakes.

Jeff Passan of ESPN said on Wednesday that he cannot believe the New York Yankees are not pursuing free agent Alex Bregman, given the team's infield needs.

While the Houston Astros still have interest in Alex Bregman, their discussions about a potential reunion with the free-agent third baseman have been mostly “internal,” general manager Dana Brown said Tuesday.

As the Houston Astros work to re-sign Alex Bregman, they are also showing "strong interest" in other options, including veteran infielder Jorge
