Bregman’s Slow Start and Decline in Team Defense As we hope for the Astros to start chipping away at the team’s poor Win% in 2024, let’s look at a couple of issues which may be relevant to the team’s start to this season.
The New York Mets have been on and off through the first 29 games of the 2024 MLB season, but one move they can attempt by the trade deadline could work to mold a championship pedigree for the team.
The New York Mets were linked to a handful of superstars this past offseason but decided against making massive investments. New York's payroll is expected to be in a much better place at the end of the 2024 season and therefore it wouldn't be too surprising to see the Mets take another shot at star next offseason.
The Boston Red Sox have avoided massive moves in recent years. Boston signed star third baseman Rafael Devers to a long-term extension but has avoided other big expenditures as the club has attempted to chart its path forward.
The Houston Astros 9-19 start has been well documented and examined, but it doesn't tell the whole story of their season. As David Schoenfield of ESPN examined the standout players of baseball in April, two Astros stood out as the best in the AL and one has been a top dissapointment.
When he has put the bat on the ball, he hasn’t been able to do damage. Most notably, he has yet to hit a home run this season. He has just 21 hits, with his five doubles being the only knocks of the extra-base variety.
Some quick thoughts about Alex Bregman’s early slump, Ryan Pressly’s not-so-good April, and swing speed. I have an ever-evolving list of notes devoted to baseball.
They look nothing like that team so far this season, and with Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Washington Nationals, the Astros find themselves at the bottom of the American League standings with a shocking 7-16 record.
The Houston Astros have been one of the most successful franchises in the MLB over the past decade or so; they have won two World Series titles since 2015, and they haven’t fallen short of the ALCS since then with the exception of the 2016 season (when they missed the playoffs).
Speaking to reporters on Thursday (including Brian McTaggart of MLB.com), Astros general manager Dana Brown was asked about the status of extension conversations with two key players.
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is willing to discuss an extension with the team during the season, which is something of.a rarity in this day and age.
So where are the betting values on the odds table for major-league RBI leaders? Yardbarker's Matt Wiesenfeld shines a light on the board.
There's a good chance that the Houston Astros could finish the 2024 season with their franchise's third World Series title. They're still in the middle of their dynasty and have shown no signs of slowing down despite the disappointing ending to their year last season.
The Houston Astros spent a lot of money this winter, signing Josh Hader for $95 million and extending Jose Altuve for $125 million. Unfortunately, they didn't spend anything on locking up Alex Bregman, who is going to be a free agent next winter.
The Astros locked up one franchise icon, perhaps for the remainder of his career, when signing second baseman Jose Altuve to a five-year, $125M deal that runs through his age-39 campaign.
Maybe the Houston Astros won't need to extend Alex Bregman after all. While the star third baseman is set to reach free agency next winter, his replacement at the hot corner appears to be waiting in the wings.
Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown wants to quash the rumors that third baseman Alex Bregman is available in a trade. "I think most teams understand that we're not moving Bregman," Brown told reporters Monday at the winter meetings in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Blue Jays may have a new target for third base for 2024. According to Jim Duquette, an MLB Network contributor and a former New York Mets general manager, Alex Bregman “may not be playing in Houston [in 2024]”.
One of the key pieces to the Houston Astros championship core could be on the move this offseason.
