Third baseman Alex Bregman is in the final year of his contract with the Houston Astros and it hasn't gone well for him or the Astros so far in 2024. Here is a look at some of the issues leading to his struggles.
The Miami Marlins became the first sellers of the 2024 MLB season last week, trading two-time batting champion Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres. Here are three more players who could be on the move this summer that contending teams should consider targeting.
One of the biggest surprises in the first few weeks of the 2024 MLB season has been the performance of the Houston Astros. The team is 12-22, already seven games behind the Texas Rangers in the AL West race and there are no signs of things turning around soon.
These three players need to get it going if the Astros hope to get back on track after a disappointing start to the 2024 season.
The struggles for the Houston Astros don't look to be turning around. Currently 12-22 and 5-5 in their last 10 games, the Astros find themselves in a quick seven-game deficit in the American League West.
It was hard to quickly understand what happened on the wild play.
Bregman’s Slow Start and Decline in Team Defense As we hope for the Astros to start chipping away at the team’s poor Win% in 2024, let’s look at a couple of issues which may be relevant to the team’s start to this season.
The New York Mets have been on and off through the first 29 games of the 2024 MLB season, but one move they can attempt by the trade deadline could work to mold a championship pedigree for the team.
The New York Mets were linked to a handful of superstars this past offseason but decided against making massive investments. New York's payroll is expected to be in a much better place at the end of the 2024 season and therefore it wouldn't be too surprising to see the Mets take another shot at star next offseason.
The Boston Red Sox have avoided massive moves in recent years. Boston signed star third baseman Rafael Devers to a long-term extension but has avoided other big expenditures as the club has attempted to chart its path forward.
The Houston Astros 9-19 start has been well documented and examined, but it doesn't tell the whole story of their season. As David Schoenfield of ESPN examined the standout players of baseball in April, two Astros stood out as the best in the AL and one has been a top dissapointment.
When he has put the bat on the ball, he hasn’t been able to do damage. Most notably, he has yet to hit a home run this season. He has just 21 hits, with his five doubles being the only knocks of the extra-base variety.
Some quick thoughts about Alex Bregman’s early slump, Ryan Pressly’s not-so-good April, and swing speed. I have an ever-evolving list of notes devoted to baseball.
They look nothing like that team so far this season, and with Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Washington Nationals, the Astros find themselves at the bottom of the American League standings with a shocking 7-16 record.

So where are the betting values on the odds table for major-league RBI leaders? Yardbarker's Matt Wiesenfeld shines a light on the board.
The Houston Astros spent a lot of money this winter, signing Josh Hader for $95 million and extending Jose Altuve for $125 million. Unfortunately, they didn't spend anything on locking up Alex Bregman, who is going to be a free agent next winter.
The Astros locked up one franchise icon, perhaps for the remainder of his career, when signing second baseman Jose Altuve to a five-year, $125M deal that runs through his age-39 campaign.
Maybe the Houston Astros won't need to extend Alex Bregman after all. While the star third baseman is set to reach free agency next winter, his replacement at the hot corner appears to be waiting in the wings.
Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown wants to quash the rumors that third baseman Alex Bregman is available in a trade. "I think most teams understand that we're not moving Bregman," Brown told reporters Monday at the winter meetings in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Blue Jays may have a new target for third base for 2024. According to Jim Duquette, an MLB Network contributor and a former New York Mets general manager, Alex Bregman “may not be playing in Houston [in 2024]”.
The Houston Astros are coming off another trip to the ALCS, but there may be major changes coming the team’s way for financial reasons.
