If Bregman is back in Houston, team sources indicated he would play third base in place of Isaac Paredes, whom the Astros acquired as part of the three-player package for Tucker. In that scenario, both Paredes and Altuve could face a position change.

Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.
