Honestly, I’d be surprised if Alex Bregman would re-sign with the Astros simply due to the financials. As long as Jim Crane owned the franchise, he avoided handing out the type of contracts it would likely take to retain Bregman’s services. The club’s recent big contracts from last offseason — extension and free agency — for Jose Altuve and Josh Hader were each limited to five years. Yordan Alvarez’s extension in June 2022 was six years, but the Astros also bought out three arbitration years and three free-agent years. In other words, Houston made it worth their while financially in terms of AAV.
