Houston general manger Dana Brown says discussions about possible reunion with free agent Alex Bregman have been mostly 'internal.'

Alex Bregman remains a free agent, with the Astros and Cubs among potential remaining suitors for the third baseman. Chicago already has acquired two players from Houston's championship era in Ryan Pressly and Kyle Tucker via separate trades.

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

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.

Things have been trending in the wrong direction for the Boston Red Sox in the Alex Bregman sweepstakes of late, with the Houston Astros reentering the fray and Craig Breslow reportedly unwilling to match the five or six years he's been offered elsewhere.

The Detroit Tigers reportedly have competition from the Houston Astros, Alex Bregman's former team, in the pursuit for the free agent third baseman.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.

With Bregman weighing his options, the Astros could look to target a less expensive player in Polanco who is coming off knee surgery.

As the Houston Astros work to re-sign Alex Bregman, they are also showing "strong interest" in other options, including veteran infielder Jorge

Alex Bregman remains on the free agent market despite having teams interested in him. The Houston Astros — the only team Bregman’s played for in his nine-year MLB career — remain in the mix for the infielder and are “trying to bring him back,” MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported Monday.

The Houston Astros reached a tentative agreement to trade Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs, clearing the way for Alex Bregman to return to the Astros.
