Jose Altuve has been a consistent presence in the Houston Astros lineup, starting 1,749 games at second base. However, he is willing to change positions to accommodate the return of his longtime teammate, Alex Bregman.
Altuve expressed his willingness to adjust his position in order to facilitate Bregman’s return during the team’s annual FanFest. He emphasized Bregman’s importance to the team and his willingness to do whatever it takes to keep him.
Despite the initial skepticism surrounding Bregman’s potential return to the Astros, recent reports suggest that the team has re-engaged with the star third baseman. This development has raised hopes among Astros fans for Bregman’s comeback.
If Bregman does return to the Astros, it would require some adjustments to the team’s lineup. The Astros have made significant moves during the offseason under the assumption of Bregman’s departure, but they are open to reorganizing their infield to accommodate his return.
Several other teams have shown interest in signing Bregman, including the Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. However, Bregman’s desire for a substantial contract may lead him to consider a short-term deal.
Having played nine seasons with the Astros and achieving multiple accolades, Bregman holds a significant place in the team’s history. If he decides to part ways with Houston, it would mark another departure of a key player from the organization in recent years.
