Most Astros players appear to brag about how they are in the best form of their lives and ready for a huge season every spring. In their initial spring training interviews, you won't find many stating things like:

"Yeah, I put on a few pounds over the holidays and can't time fastballs right now, but it will work itself out." - Alex Bregman during offseason

Nevertheless, hearing Bregman, who may be playing his final season with the Houston Astros, talk about his offseason was encouraging and fruitful.

Bregman reportedly worked out with players like Xander Bogaerts from the Padres and Matt Chapman, who's still a free agent, during the offseason in Phoenix. He acknowledged that he's in the finest physical condition of his life, looking ahead to the opening day of the 2024 MLB season.

Alex Bregman looking for big season ahead of contract extension

It will be up to Alex Bregman to have an exceptional season in the field and to buck trends that his production is dropping.

According to stats, Bregman had his greatest season in 2019, with a 167 wRC+, 8.2 fWAR, 41 home runs, and his typical solid defensive skills at third base. For Bregman to be useful to the Astros in 2024, he does not need to have a career year.

Even if he were to resume his upward trend at the plate, it would still be a huge benefit because there are rumours that he's looking for a very large contract extension, which may become possible if he produces a very impressive stat line in the 2024 MLB season.
