Astros GM provides a vague update on contract extensions for Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker.
The front office of the Houston Astros still has work to do. The organization is now focused on some of its other important players after last week’s announcement that Jose Altuve had signed a five-year, $125 million agreement. The Astros are currently attempting to sign long-term contracts with Kyle Tucker, the right fielder, and Alex Bregman, the third baseman.
Astros general manager Dana Brown has stated that the team will definitely extend contracts to both stars, despite the fact that no specifics are available at this time.
According to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, Brown stated, “We’re going to make them an offer.” “At this time, I don’t have a timeline for it.”
Currently nearing the end of a five-year deal, Brettman will become an unrestricted free agency following the 2024 campaign. The two-time All-Star had an.804 OPS, 25 home runs, 98 RBI, and a batting average of.262/.363/.441. He also had 87 strikeouts and 92 walks. Since Bregman is still only 29 years old, if he and the Astros are unable to come to an agreement, he will be inundated with high-ball offers from teams when his upcoming free agency begins.
Tucker, meanwhile, might not be as involved in the talks as he once was. Since Bregman’s deal with the Astros expires after the 2025 season, the franchise will probably give Bregman’s contract priority. Nevertheless, Tucker is a valuable commodity, and Houston will undoubtedly try to keep the 27-year-old around for the long term. Tucker placed fifth in the AL Most Valuable Player contest the previous season.
The Astros aren’t known for lavish spending, but they may need to venture outside of their comfort zone going ahead if they hope to retain players like Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman..
