Astros not currently engaged in a contract extension talk with Alex Bregman, per GM Dana Brown

Alex Bregman has been an integral part of the Astros camp over the last few seasons. Last season in 2023, he started in 161 games with 261/.363/.441 and 25 homers, 98 RBIs, 103 runs, 28 doubles and 92 walks.

However, his time at Astros is coming to an end as he is set to be a free agent once his contract is over in 2025. There have been many speculations about the club offering a possible extension to the 3B. However, till now no offer has been made to the 29-year-old.

The club's GM, Dana Brown, recently addressed this topic. She said that although the club might offer him an extension at some point, it hasn't currently initiated any contract talks with the star. She said:

"At some point, we'll come up with some type of offer. But right now, we are not engaged in an offer."

Bregman joined the team in 2016. He signed a six-year contract extension worth $100 million in 2019. Astros recently extended Bregman's teammate Jose Altuve's stay at Houston as the player signed a five-year $125 million contract.
