Alex Bregman remains a highly sought-after free agent as teams vie to add the prized infielder to their rosters. However, there may be some concerns among teams regarding Bregman's history with the Houston Astros.
On Jomboy Media's JM Baseball podcast, Chris Rose and Trevor Plouffe discussed Bregman's free agency. Plouffe noted that while Bregman is one of the best third basemen in baseball, his involvement in the Astros' sign-stealing scandal could raise concerns as he joins a new clubhouse.
"I have this thought in my head, obviously tied to the Houston Astros scandal...To see him walk into a different clubhouse is going to be interesting. I’m sure the guys will be professional, but there’s going to be a feeling when Alex Bregman joins your team. I think he’s a nice guy, and I believe others were more to blame for what went down—like the veterans and the manager," Plouffe said.
