This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m ok with Bregman signing elsewhere

I think with the Christian Walker signing today this confirms that Breggy is gone. While I’m going to miss Breggy I feel like we probably dodged a bullet not giving him the 7 years $200 million contract that he wanted. He is still an elite defender at 3B but his offense has been declining for several years now and he just had to get a bone chip removed from his shoulder about a month ago. Despite how much I love watching Bregman play his best years are behind him and whoever gives him the $200 million he wants is looking at an albatross of a contract by year 3. If Christian Walker doesn’t work we only have to eat a $20 million bullet for 3 years

I do want to end this with a thank you to Alex Bregman for the 2 World Series championships he helped bring us. He gave me and many other Astros fans lots of good memories and I hope the Astros induct him into the team hall of fame sometime in the future
