Alex Bregman's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman could opt to play second base in the upcoming season, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Scott Boras, Bregman's agent, noted that the two-time World Series champion can cover the keystone in addition to his usual position at the hot corner. Bregman is currently a free agent and is expected to receive a significant contract. Given his willingness to move to a different position, it could open the door for more suitors to place their bid on the 30-year-old. Last season, Bregman posted a .260/.315/.453 slash line with 26 home runs and three stolen bases. Fantasy managers should monitor where Bregman decides to sign in the offseason, as his fantasy value could increase significantly if he earns eligibility in the middle infield as well as at third base.

Agent Scott Boras said free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman (elbow) had a bone chip removed from his right elbow recently and should resume swinging a bat in a few weeks. Bregman is expected to be fine for the start of spring training in February. The 30-year-old veteran missed time later in the regular season due to elbow issues but played through it before the club was eliminated by the Detroit Tigers in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The injury shouldn't negatively affect Bregman's free-agent market this offseason. While the Astros have had talks with him about a return, nothing is guaranteed. The two-time All-Star hit .260/.315/.453 with a career-worst .768 OPS, 26 home runs, 75 RBI, three stolen bases and 79 runs scored in 145 games in his nine season in Houston in 2024. Leaving the Astros' powerful lineup would likely be a negative for Bregman's fantasy value in 2025.

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said he's had "productive" talks with Scott Boras, the agent representing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman. It's unclear if the Astros have made a formal offer to Bregman to try and re-sign him, but Brown added it's "our biggest priority at third base, without a doubt. We'd love to have Alex Bregman back. It's our biggest priority." The Astros extended a $21.05 million qualifying offer to Bregman on Monday, which he's fully expected to decline. It means that Houston will receive draft-pick compensation if Bregman signs with another team in free agency. The 30-year-old two-time All-Star remained productive in 2024, hitting .260/.315/.453 with a .768 OPS, 26 homers, 75 RBI, three steals and 79 runs scored in 145 regular-season games. Leaving Houston for another team could ultimately hurt Bregman's fantasy upside in 2025.

The Houston Astros have extended a qualifying offer to third baseman Alex Bregman. Bregman now has until November 19 to either accept this offer or test free agency. The 30-year-old will likely test free agency as he should receive a much higher salary on the open market. In 2024, Bregman hit at least 20 home runs for the third straight campaign while holding a solid .260/.315/.453 slash line with 75 RBI and three stolen bases. He held a stellar 12.8% whiff rate and 13.6% K rate, significantly boosting his value in points leagues. Fantasy managers should view the two-time World Series champion as a reliable option for power and batting average at the hot corner for the 2025 campaign.

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman was locked in at the plate during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-handed slugger went 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run and three RBI in what ended up being a 9-8 loss. Bregman has picked it up with the bat during the second half. He has a .811 OPS and now 13 homers since the All-Star break. Fantasy managers can continue to ride his hot bat during the fantasy playoffs.
