The Houston Astros have offered free agent third baseman Alex Bregman a six-year contract "worth around $156 million," Brian McTaggart reported for MLB.com.
McTaggart noted that Bregman "is believed to be seeking a deal closer to $200 million."
The largest contract in Astros history is currently the six-year, $156 million extension Jose Altuve signed with the club in 2018.
Exceeding that record may not be enough to keep Bregman, who slashed .260/.315/.453 with 26 home runs last season. Should another team in need of a third baseman like the New York Yankees or New York Mets offer him more money, he could move on after nine seasons with the Astros.
