Top remaining free agent Alex Bregman is getting creative short-term offers but is still looking for (and expecting) six-plus years. Teams involved include the Cubs, Red Sox, Astros and Tigers.
Astros GM Dana Brown suggested a lack of optimism on Bregman, though word is they’ve come up from their reported $156M, six-year offer from November.

Bregman is a rare 30-year-old seemingly unaffected by the qualifying offer. The Pete Alonso-Mets negotiations are a reminder how much the qualifying offer/draft pick attachment changes the equation.
The Mets apparently haven’t completely ruled out a return for Jose Iglesias (aka Candelita), either.
