An Alex Bregman return to the Houston Astros, with whom he's spent his entire professional career to date, is back within the range of possibilities for the free-agent infielder. That's especially the case now that Jose Altuve is reportedly willing to relocate to the outfield to make room for Bregman in a Houston infield that now includes Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker.

The report comes three days after another insider said it’s unlikely a deal between Boston and Bregman will get done. The post MLB insider lists Red Sox as ‘co-favorites’ to sign Alex Bregman along with this AL club appeared first on Boston.

Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.
