OTM Open Thread 1/27: Alex Bregman rumors...to Houston
Briefly

The recent trade involving Ryan Pressly saw the Chicago Cubs absorbing $8.5 million of his contract, providing the Houston Astros with significant salary relief. This financial maneuvering could allow the Astros to re-sign Alex Bregman, whose future has been a topic of speculation. With the Boston Red Sox showing little interest in acquiring Bregman, and the Astros facing distinct lineup changes, including a possible shift for Jose Altuve to left field, the team appears to be aligning itself for a return to success while addressing roster needs.
With the Chicago Cubs now covering $8.5 million of Ryan Pressly's contract, the Houston Astros could have the financial flexibility to re-sign Alex Bregman.
Despite rumors surrounding Alex Bregman's future, the likelihood of him returning to Houston increases, particularly with salary relief obtained from the Cubs.
The Astros may restructure their roster, possibly moving Altuve to left field, as they consider the dynamics of having Bregman back.
Ultimately, the market for Bregman appears limited, especially with the Red Sox never being a true contender for his services.
