The Houston Astros star is expected to get a deal well worth over $100 million.

Coming into the season, it wasn’t expected that the biggest news of the year would be how bad the Houston Astros currently are. At 7-18 and dropping seven of their last 10 games, this has been as bad of a start as the team could’ve imagined.

For the Astros, most of the questions entering the year were around what they were going to do with Alex Bregman, Kyle Tucker, and Framber Valdez. Bregman’s the most pressing situation, given he hits free agency at the end of the season, but things could’ve changed due to the way Houston’s played.

Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report ranked the top free agents for 2024-25, ranking Bregman as the third best in the loaded class.
