General manager Dana Brown stated, "Our biggest priority is third base, without a doubt. We'd love to have Alex Bregman back. It's our biggest priority." This emphasizes the team’s commitment to retaining Bregman, recognizing his significant role in their lineup and the potential impact of not securing his return as they look to enhance their roster.
While addressing the process, Brown mentioned they have had "productive conversations" with the Boras Corporation, indicating the Astros are engaging in serious discussions but have yet to finalize any move regarding Bregman. This reflects their desire to navigate the complexities of contract negotiations strategically.
Brown also hinted at potential salary maneuvers, saying, "We may need to be creative in managing payroll," acknowledging the need for financial flexibility as retaining Bregman would likely require surpassing their past investment limits. This indicates a strategic, albeit cautious, approach towards maintaining their competitiveness.
Suggesting openness to longer contracts, Brown noted, "I don't think we're going to be in the business of giving multiple seven-year deals... But if there's an opportunity to sign a guy that we feel is going to be good for six or seven years, I think Jim would do it." This illustrates the team's willingness to adapt their strategy if needed.
