Dana Brown spoke today on Ryan Pressly, Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve and the current Astros' roster. Read all about it on MLB Trade Rumors.
HOUSTON — The idea of Jose Altuve playing left field for the Astros first surfaced last week. It was reportedly Altuve's idea as a way to shift things around to make room for free agent third baseman Alex Bregman to return.
With rumors swirling of a possible reunion between the Houston Astros and Alex Bregman, Dana Brown characterized the talks with the free agent third baseman as the door being cracked, while still calling it a “long shot.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.
Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.
If money was the issue standing between Alex Bregman and a reunion with the Houston Astros, that issue has been taken care of after the team shipped reliever Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs.
Astros GM Dana Brown admitted his relationship with Ryan Pressly suffered over the last year before Houston traded him to the Cubs.
He said that the relationship between himself and the reliever “took a slightly different turn” when the club signed Hader going into the 2024 season.
Jose Altuve anchored the Houston Astros' infield as their starting second baseman throughout the franchise's Golden Era. The next phase of Houston's dynasty could see Altuve move from his traditional infield perch.
