The Houston Astros have been one of the best teams in Major League Baseball since winning the World Series title in 2017.
After appearing in seven straight American League Championship Series, the Astros lost to the Detroit Tigers in the wild-card series in 2024, ending the streak.
The Astros lost one of their star players this offseason as they traded star outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs.
While losing Tucker will likely hurt the team in 2025, they may take another hit as free agent third baseman Alex Bregman has still yet to sign with a team.
MLB Insider Chandler Rome revealed that the Astros may be on the verge of losing Bregman.
“During his address at the team’s annual media luncheon, Dana Brown twice spoke about Alex Bregman in the past tense, saying once that the team “lost Bregman.” Rome said via his personal ‘X’ account.

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.
Rumors have been spreading about Bregman possibly joining his old teammate Tucker in Chicago with the Cubs, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
The Astros had an impressive streak of winning in the American League, but those years might be over if they lose both Tucker and Bregman this offseason.
It will be interesting to see how the Astros look in 2025 after an offseason that saw them lose at least one of their star players.
