Yesterday was a day for Alex Bregman rumors.
Bregman's top suitors are the Cubs, Red Sox, Astros and Blue Jays. The Astros are out. The Astros are in. The Tigers and Royals are making a play. Bregman is open to short-term deals. Bregman wants at least six years.
All this usually means a player is about to sign.
Interestingly, Cubs accounts on Twitter rumored that if the Cubs sign Bregman, they will trade second baseman/shortstop Nico Hoerner. Hoerner is the second best thing to Gimenez defensively and is a reliable 100 wRC+ under control for two years making him a good bridge to Bazzana and good insurance in case Rocchio falters, so if indeed Hoerner does become available, I hope the Guardians are involved.
