MLB Trade Deadline - 3 teams who could acquire Alex Bregman if Astros part ways with 2x All-Star 

News around Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has gained some traction recently, especially a week before the 2024 MLB trade deadline. The Astros (52-49) have regained their position in the leaderboard with just one game away from getting tied up with the Seattle Mariners (53-50).

As of now, the Astros could come out as buyers, but if they decide to be the sellers this time, they could very well choose Bregman, who's going to be a free agent soon. Although Bregman had a slow start this season, he still managed to pick it up a notch in the recent games.

Here's a closer look at three teams that could be interested in sending an offer.

3 potential trade destinations for Alex Bregman

#1. New York Yankees

The Bronx Bombers need help at third base. They're doing poorly in that position, as the Yankees are 27th in the league with their .611 OPS. They're also one of the only four teams in the major league who have less than 100 bases from their third baseman.

At such a stage, adding Alex Bregman to the roster could be a huge help for the team. Even though, Bregman already had a career-high season back in 2019, however, in June he was able to slash .310/.367/.450, so he'd still do good for the Yankees.

#2. Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers are currently enjoying their third position in the National League leaderboard. However, this is a significant drop since the Brewers were at the top of the National League, and they need a hot hitter on their roster.

Bregman also has a great grip on playing positions like shortstop and first base. This might prove beneficial for The Stros. If the Astros decide to relieve Alex Bregman, the Brewers might jump in for a deal to improve their roster.

#3. Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is well aware of the potential of the two-time All-Star. Hinch was Bregman's manager during the Houston Astros' World Series triumph in 2017 and over for the next two years as well.

Moreover, the Tigers need a trustworthy bat to get themselves back into the World Series, and as of now, the MLB trade period seems to be an important event for them. If the Tigers make their move, the reunion of Bregman and Hinch could attract a lot of eyeballs.
