Astros focus only on Bregman after Polanco signs with M’s?

1. Alex verdugo would be a good option, he won’t cost much. Bregman wants more money, they should hurry up and sign verdugo. Not many options left out there …..

2. Bregman is not worth thirty million a year.
   His career is already on the decline.

3. craig biggio should talk to him, i remember biggio many years ago spent some time contemplating leaving to make more money elsewhere but he was very happy in houston and he took to spend time at a church to really think about it and ended up staying in houston and the rest is history

4. they can even defer some money to the other years to try and stay under the second luxury tax for the upcoming year

5. I don't understand the fascination. He doesn't want to come here. At this point the Astros are the highest bidder. Why would you give him more. I think 156 is too much now. Bc he's been an Astro I would just ask him to take it or walk away. You have to walk away. Play those rookies

6. Man all this stuff about Bregman. He's not that good. Should have just signed Profar for the outfield

7. All we talk about is Bregman. Let him go already

8. Bro I don’t even think Bregman is worth it we have cam in the minors also

9. Bregman $25 million signing bonus. Pay Bregman $5 million this year. Pay Bregman five more years at $30 million a year.

10. I'm half joking when I say this but are we sure the MLB isn't paying Dana Brown to dismantle the Astros dynasty?

11. Can we defer some of Bregmans contract?

12. Congratulations on the wedding, all the best Eric 🎉🍾

13. Good. Astros don't need another middle-of-the-road infielder.
    Astros need a capable outfielder with a DECENT BAT!

14. Ben Gamel???

15. I do not know about the nuances of the Alex Bregman free agency. All I know from my observations is that Bregman is a big, BIG competitor. That is all I know.

16. If the Astros "meet in the middle" with Bregman, then this shows they're not serious! THEY"RE NEGOTIATING AGAINST THEMSELVES and the fans have moved on! THE ASTROS MOVED ON!! We need an OF'er, not Bregman's butt!

17. No, I'm fine with "losing" legacy players because THOSE PLAYERS DIDNT MAKE HOUSTON their #1 priority like Altuve did! You guys are always looking at things from the same lense instead of the disloyalty and mercenary mindset of players nowadays! I dont care about these players because they dont care about the fans or the game! They only care about money, so OK.

18. I would rather do 5 yrs 165 that's 33

19. BREGMAN NEEDS TO MADE HIS MIND UP, SIGN OR LEAVE FOR WE CAN MOVE ON BUILDING OUR TEAM. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

20. Bregman was plan A but when he turned down 6/156m, then he became plan B and the Tucker trade became plan A. Don't confuse this – Bregman did all of this. He could have easily told Boras to get a deal done JUST like Altuve did. We didn't have this drama with Altuve. Bregman and Altuve have the same agent.

    If the Astros spend more money on Bregman and he starts off slow, the crowd is going to let him hear it. Boo Birds will be loud.

21. If Bregman really wants to stay home with us then he needs to commit as soon as possible. Dana Brown and the front office is hamstrung until he commits because they cannot finalize their roster: the roster of which Bregman will be a part. If he wants to hit in a better lineup then he needs to give his front office the best chance to put more pieces around him if they are going to do so. While we wait for him to squeeze the last drop of blood out of the Astros, all the other pieces are being taken off the table.

22. let him walk. go find some outfielders

23. The ONLY way I want Bregman back is on a team friendly deal. He barely deserves 20 million, DEFINITELY not 30.

24. I say unfocused on Bregman. He had his chance and took a hard pass. The organization went out and filled not only Bregman's position but also addressed the lack of offense at 1B. Between Paredes and Walker they more than made up Bregman's stats. Save the money. Sign Hunter Brown and see how this season plays out. If they are competitive near the trade deadline then go out at find an outfielder that possesses some offense. Simple.

25. Hey I call it Bregman get signed by Stros on Feb #2!!!!

26. Altuve only said he would go to the outfield IF they signed Bregman. So Altuve is going to outfield no matter who they sign?
