After making their eighth straight trip to the playoffs, the Houston Astros lost for the first time before appearing in the ALCS, getting swept by the Detroit Tigers in the wild-card round.
Now, one Astros star is set to test free agency after playing his whole career in a Houston uniform.
Analyst Eduardo Perez said he has a strong belief about where Bregman will sign ahead of the 2025 season.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Alex Bregman returns to Houston,” Perez said, via MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

Perez said that Bregman has roots in Houston that include having children growing up in the area.
Bregman has made the playoffs every season of his MLB career, and Perez appears to think he could be a lifelong Astro.
This season, Bregman batted .260 with 26 home runs, 75 RBIs and a 768 OPS.
Some teams Perez believes Bregman could fit with include the Tigers, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox.
It will be interesting to see how Bregman approaches the offseason, as it becomes clear what his thought process might be about where he wants to play next season and beyond.
Although Perez believes Bregman will be back in an Astros uniform, players often catch people by surprise with their decision.
The Astros most likely would like to bring back Bregman as he has been a staple in their lineup for many seasons, but it most likely will come down to money in the end.
