The Houston Astros continued to dominate the American League West division as they won the division title for the fourth straight year and the seventh time in the last eight seasons.
After finishing with a record of 88-73, the Astros failed to reach the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2016 after being swept by the Detroit Tigers in the wild-card series.
The offseason has seen the Astros part ways with Justin Verlander, Yusei Kikuchi, and Kyle Tucker while acquiring Christian Walker, Isaac Paredes, and Hayden Wesneski.
One player the Astros are waiting to hear from is free agent third baseman Alex Bregman, who has yet to sign with a team for the 2025 season.
MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal revealed where he believes Bregman will play in 2025.
“If I had to bet right now, I would bet the Astros in this negotiation,” Rosenthal said via Foul Territory on ‘X.’

Rosenthal revealed that Astros second baseman Jose Altuve said he would move to left field if Bregman was to return to the team as Altuve wants Bregman on the Astros.
Bregman came into the league in 2016 with the Astros and has played all nine seasons of his MLB career with the team.
In 2024, Bregman played in 145 games where he batted .260 with 26 home runs, 75 RBIs, and a .768 OPS.
The Astros and their fans likely want Bregman back as he has been a key player for the team over their recent run of success.
It will be interesting to see if the Astros can get a deal done with Bregman before the 2025 season begins.
