Astros’ Star Jose Altuve Urges Astros to Bring Back Alex Bregman.Houston Astros’ star second baseman and clubhouse leader Jose Altuve knows that his word carries a lot of weight with the organization. He is now trying to use that fact to help third baseman Alex Bregman, who is a pending free agent, remain with the organization beyond this season.
While speaking with reporters after the Astros’ loss to the Detroit Tigers in the AL Wild-Card series, Altuve used the opportunity to urge the franchise to re-sign Bregman.“I don’t want to think about my last game with Breggy,” Altuve said. “I’m pretty confident he’s going to be our third baseman next year. We have to. We’re not going to be the same organization without him. In my mind, there’s not a chance this is the last game.”
Bregman spent his entire career in the majors with the Astros. He made his MLB debut in 2016 and since then became a two-time All-Star while helping the team win the World Series in 2017 and 2022. Bregman is currently sixth on the Astros’ all-time list in home runs with 191 home runs and ninth in RBIs with 663.
“Since the day he got here, the whole organization changed in a better direction,” Altuve added. “He made this team way better. Like I said, there is hopefully a big chance for him to stay here, and not only that, but retire here.”
Bregman said on previous occasions that he would love to remain in Houston. However, considering he will be one of the top players in free agency this upcoming winter, the only way that will happen is if the Astros come with a huge offer.
