Houston Astros career second baseman Jose Altuve is so eager for former teammate Alex Bregman to potentially return to the squad, the nine-time All-Star is willing to move to left field.

Say what you want about Jose Altuve's involvement in the 2017 Houston Astros cheating scandal, but he certainly appears to be an awesome teammate. His willingne

A reunion with free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman would be met with overwhelming approval in the Astros’ clubhouse. It would also give Houston an abundance of infielders and force the Astros to get creative on defensive positioning.

Houston's longtime star at second base is reportedly considering a position move in order to retain Bregman in free agency, as first reported by USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

HOUSTON — Though the Houston Astros have re-engaged in talks with free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, general manager Dana Brown on Saturday characterized any potential reunion as a “long shot.”

Reliever Ryan Pressly has agreed to waive his no-trade rights and accept a trade from the Houston Astros to the Chicago Cubs, a person with knowledge of the decision confirmed Sunday. A trade involving Pressly was in place as of Sunday afternoon,

It traded star outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs and got back infielder Isaac Paredes, who has played the strong majority of his games at third base.

Houston general manager Dana Brown says the door for re-signing free agent Alex Bregman is “cracked” open, but he acknowledges keeping the third baseman with the Astros would be a long shot.
