Uncertainty Looms as the Astros Prepare for Life Without Bregman

Options if Bregman Leaves

The Houston Astros are leaving no stone unturned as they continue their efforts to re-sign Alex Bregman. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the team is keeping its options open and has maintained contact with Willy Adames. Additionally, they have expressed interest in Jorge Polanco as a fallback option. This shows their determination to strengthen the team even in the face of uncertainty.

Since Jeremy Pena is already at shortstop, moving Adames to third base would be a viable solution to have both players in the lineup. Adames had an outstanding year at the plate with the Milwaukee Brewers, hitting.251 with 32 home runs, 112 RBI, a.462 slugging percentage, and a.794 OPS. He also stole 21 bases and posted a 3.1 WAR. His offensive capabilities would undoubtedly give the Astros a significant boost and keep them in the running to be one of the top teams in Major League Baseball.

The Astros' Goals for the Season

Despite winning only 88 games this past season, the Houston Astros managed to secure the AL West title. Their sights are set on winning another World Series title, and having a reliable backup plan like Adames would enhance their chances. The Astros have a rich history of success and are determined to continue making their mark in the league.

While Adames won't come cheap, his potential impact on the team makes him a valuable option. The Astros will need to carefully evaluate their options and make a strategic decision to ensure the team's future success. We'll have to wait and see if they make a move for him and how it affects the team's offseason plans.
