If money was the issue standing between Alex Bregman and a reunion with the Houston Astros, that issue has been taken care of after the team shipped reliever Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs.

Dana Brown made it sound unlikely that an Alex Bregman reunion with the Houston Astros was in the cards, but didn't rule it out completely.

HOUSTON — The idea of Jose Altuve playing left field for the Astros first surfaced last week. It was reportedly Altuve's idea as a way to shift things around to make room for free agent third baseman Alex Bregman to return.

Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.

The trade of Ryan Pressly and Jose Altuve’s willingness to move from second base to left field has renewed hope that the Houston Astros may be able to re-sign Alex Bregman. That’s a huge change from just five weeks ago when general manager Dana Brown termed the negotiations with the free agent third baseman as “stalled” and appeared to close the door on a possible reunion.

Rylee Pay is set to be the new voice of the Tacoma Rainiers, replacing the longtime voice of the Seattle Mariners' minor league affiliate.

Ryan Pressly said approving a trade to the Cubs was one of hardest decisions but he's ready to prove he can be a closer again in Chicago.
