Astros: Jose Altuve takes fly balls in left as Bregman saga continues
Join Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey, as well as special guest Ari Alexander, for the Locked On Astros podcast. While we wait for the Ryan Pressly trade to be finalized, there are a lot of rumblings about how close the Astros are to bringing Alex Bregman back. How much money did they save by trading Pressly? What can they use that money to do? Jorge Palonco’s name surfaced again.
The Houston Astros are making waves with potential roster changes that could redefine their strategy. With Alex Bregman’s contract negotiations at a standstill and Ryan Pressly’s trade to the Chicago Cubs looming, the Astros are at a pivotal moment. Could Jose Altuve’s move to left field be the game-changer they need?
Join hosts Eric and Brett, along with guest Ari Alexander from KPRC Channel 2 Houston, as they explore these developments. They discuss Bregman’s contract standoff, Pressly’s trade details, and Altuve’s potential position shift. The episode also covers the Astros’ interest in Jorge Polanco and the bullpen’s future without Pressly.

This is a great talk with lots of real info. Most reports I have been hearing don’t have this “meat” to it. Thanks Ari for all of these details I didn’t know behind the scenes. I will say I miss the days all of the business side was behind the scenes. Bregman has been very quiet about it and it’s the media milking it for a story. So those tired of hearing it, direct it towards the media who are too lazy to find any real stories. Ari is one exception as he reports when he has real info.
Trade Pena move Bregman to SS
Makes sense. Find out NOW if Altuve can play the OF, especially LF.
I love Alex but I feel like he’s not appreciating the city and the organization the way I thought he would. He’s dragged this waayyy to far by now. Stros should just move on from him. He’s too demanding.
I really appreciate what altuve did when he signed his extension a couple seasons ago. He probably could’ve got a bigger offer somewhere else but he stayed loyal to Houston.
Sorry but not really. Alex Bregman is overrated and isn't even a Hall of Fame player. He should take Stros deal. He can go somewhere else and be on a loosing team I suppose. Bregman doesn't hustle can't throw his arm is weak. He only did well and busted his butt at end of last years season for money for free agency. 😮
Yall need Ari on the show more often. Make it a regular thing once a week!
Nothing like adding a bat to the outfield.
Can Pena play outfield, he has the speed
