Will Alex Bregman (31) remain with the Houston Astros after failing to sign a contract until February, when the spring training will be held.

Fox Sports commented on the possibility of Bregman staying in Houston on Monday (Korea time). This is Houston manager Joe Espada's opinion.먹튀검증

According to the report, Espada said that "the door is always open" to Bregman's contract. In other words, Bregman can sign a contract if he cuts his own ransom.

Bregman entered the major leagues in 2016 after being the Houston Astros' No. 2 pick in the first round in the 2015 rookie draft, i.e. franchise star.

Bregman then became a full-time major leaguer in 2017, and played amazingly in 2018 and 2019. Becoming the best third baseman in the major leagues.

In particular, in 2019, he recorded a batting average of 0.296 with 41 home runs, 112 RBIs, 122 runs and 164 hits in 156 games, and an on-base percentage of 0.423 OPS 1.015.

In addition to being named an All-Star, he ranked second in the American League MVP voting. He also won the Silver Slugger in the third baseman category.

However, Bregman has become a relatively ordinary third baseman since 2020. He has lost his top-notch hitting position in the third baseman position, which should show outstanding attack power.

Bregman averaged just .350 with an on-base percentage and an OPS of .795 in five seasons from 2020. Hard to compare with 2019.

In addition, his performance fell further last season with a batting average of 0.260 with 26 home runs and 75 RBIs in 145 games and an on-base percentage of 0.315 OPS of 0.768.

As a result, he has not benefited from winning the Gold Glove Award in the American League's third baseman category last year. Third baseman position requires hitting rather than outstanding defense.

In particular, Bregman is still known to want a ransom of more than 200 million dollars. Therefore, teams that need right-handed hitters and third basemen do not rush in.

In the end, Bregman must admit that his value has decreased and reduce his greed in order to win a new contract. Of course, there is a way to re-take the FA.
