Houston would love to lengthen their lineup, especially if Bregman does leave, and Adames just posted a .794 OPS in 2024 and has been a consistent 30ish-homer threat the last three seasons in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-text\">Almost every team in baseball could use Adames&#8217; level of production, especially a perennial contender like the Astros.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"inline-text\">However, there could another motive to the Astros&#8217; front office showing interest in Adames. While the\u00a0Astros have proclaimed Bregman their top priority this offseason, the fact remains that they are negotiating with notorious agent Scott Boras, which presents its own challenges.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"inline-text\">By openly courting a replacement for Bregman &#8211; who is still highly regarded, but probably cheaper than him &#8211; Houston could be continuing to put pressure on Bregman and Boras to negotiate in good faith and force them to make a decision instead of dragging negotiations out this offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"inline-text\">There is a real risk for the Astros in waiting around for Bregman this offseason. If Boras plays games like he did last offseason with his more prominent clients, Houston could find the free agent and trade markets devoid of replacement options if\u00a0Bregman does eventually sign elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-text\">The Astros remaining proactive in building their roster with or without Bregman not only could be the smartest move, but could be a great power play in the Bregman-Boras negotiations to try and get clarity sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the start of the offseason, there is an &#8220;update&#8221; every day about a potential reunion between the Houston Astros and Alex Bregman.
