The trade of Ryan Pressly and Jose Altuve’s willingness to move from second base to left field has renewed hope that the Houston Astros may be able to re-sign Alex Bregman. That’s a huge change from just five weeks ago when general manager Dana Brown termed the negotiations with the free agent third baseman as “stalled” and appeared to close the door on a possible reunion.

The Houston Astros are reportedly still in pursuit of free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman as of Tuesday morning. Houston's brass also appears to have a cost-effective replacement in mind should Bregman seek greener pastures before next season.

The Houston Astros are reportedly eyeing Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco as a potential Alex Bregman replacement.
