While there has been reported interest from Houston in a reunion, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reported that Astros general manager Dana Brown used Bregman's name in the past tense when speaking to reporters. "During his address at the team's annual media luncheon, Dana Brown twice spoke about Alex Bregman in the past tense," Rome wrote.

Alex Bregman remains on the free agent market. The Cubs have money to spend but also top prospect Matt Shaw to play third base. Can they succeed with both of them?
