Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young winner, knows the Tigers are interested in signing third baseman Alex Bregman.

Cora isn’t the only one who’s in favor of signing Bregman. New Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler co-owns a horse with Bregman and revealed he made a pitch to his longtime friend to come join him in Boston. In 2024 for the Astros, Bregman hit .260 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI with a .768 OPS in 145 games.

Although Alex Bregman has been heavily tied to Boston this offseason, the sides are reportedly not on the same page over contract length.

Houston general manager Dana Brown says the door for re-signing free agent Alex Bregman is “cracked” open, but he acknowledges keeping the third baseman with the Astros would be a long shot.

HOUSTON — Though the Houston Astros have re-engaged in talks with free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, general manager Dana Brown on Saturday characterized any potential reunion as a “long shot.”

Despite the club's wariness to sign the veteran infielder to a big free-agent contract, it's hard to overlook the potential fit of Bregman with the Red Sox for the 2025 season.

Houston Astros career second baseman Jose Altuve is so eager for former teammate Alex Bregman to potentially return to the squad, the nine-time All-Star is willing to move to left field.

There are still plenty of free agents waiting to sign and trade candidates waiting to move, and as such there will be no shortage of activity between now and the start of camp. Speaking of all that, here now are Friday's hot stove rumors.

What's the latest on the Red Sox's pursuit of Alex Bregman? New reports indicate the free agent could return to the Houston Astros.

The first blockbuster trade between the two clubs represented a seismic shift in Houston's future strategy. The Astros sent superstar right fielder Kyle Tucker to Chicago in exchange for three players, including third baseman Isaac Paredes.

The Boston Red Sox have been linked to two-time World Series champion Alex Bregman throughout the offseason, but with Boston's resistance to give out a five-year deal to the Houston Astros free agent, they probably won't bring him in.
