Bleacher Report Makes Shocking Offseason Prediction Regarding Astros and Alex Bregman

Trade Rumors Swirl as Astros Face Uncertain Future

The Houston Astros have been one of the most successful teams in baseball in recent years, winning the World Series in 2017 and appearing in the ALCS in 2018 and 2019. However, the team has struggled in 2022, and there is speculation that they could make some major changes this offseason.

Bregman's Future in Houston in Doubt

One of the players who could be on the move is third baseman Alex Bregman. Bregman is a two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger, but he has struggled in 2022, batting just .259 with 12 home runs and 55 RBIs.

According to Bleacher Report, the Astros are "likely to trade" Bregman this offseason. The report cites Bregman's struggles in 2022, as well as the Astros' need to improve their defense.

Astros Could Target Top Prospects in Trade

If the Astros do trade Bregman, they could target a number of top prospects in return. Some of the players who have been mentioned as potential trade targets include:

• CJ Abrams, SS, San Diego Padres
• Eury Perez, OF, Miami Marlins
• Anthony Volpe, SS, New York Yankees

These are all highly-touted prospects who could fill a variety of needs for the Astros.

Conclusion

The Astros are facing a number of tough decisions this offseason, and the future of Alex Bregman is one of the biggest. If Bregman is traded, it would be a major shakeup for the Astros, but it could also be a necessary move for the team to return to contention.
