The Astros reportedly have their six-year, $156 million offer still on the table, and there is one other team with a six-year offer, too. The Red Sox reportedly aren\u2019t there on years, but they\u2019ve been heavily linked to the All-Star, and manager Alex Cora praised the 30-year-old multiple times amid his side\u2019s chase for him.<\/p>\n<p>Despite recent Astros reports, Boston\u2019s chances to sign Bregman didn\u2019t seem to dwindle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it seems almost inevitable that 1B Pete Alonso returns to the Mets, the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox loom as co-favorites for 3B Alex Bregman with no movement in Astros talks,\u201d USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale posted on X on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The top MLB insider also posted a column where he stated he expected a resolution between the Astros and Bregman soon. The two-time World Series champion reportedly does want to return to Houston but isn\u2019t a fan of its offer as it would be a step down in salary.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Houston viewed Jorge Polanco as a \u201ccontingency\u201d for Bregman but that option was removed when the Seattle Mariners re-signed the All-Star infielder.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Detroit reportedly viewed Bregman as its \u201ctop priority\u201d and continued to make moves to bolster its roster.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unknown how these moves will factor into Bregman\u2019s decision, but the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago Cubs are also contenders to sign the Gold Glove infielder along with the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/cropped-Jason-Ounpraseuth-96x96.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Bregman Rumors: Encouraging Red Sox Note Amid Astros Talks\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>\n<h3>Jason Ounpraseuth JasonOun95<\/h3>\n<p>Editorial Content Writer II<\/p>\n<p>Editorial Content Writer II for NESN.com.
