With almost half the season done, two players have emerged as major talking points for the team, and both for similar, yet different, reasons. Coming into the season, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker were the two players that were expected to be getting the next long-term deal with the team so how they performed this year would be a massive statement for both.
Both getting drafted in the first round of the 2015 draft, they have both become staples of the team of the past years and have both been consistent on both a defensive and offensive standpoint throughout their careers.
