After months of negotiations and decisions, the Houston Astros have a real chance to come out on top of the Alex Bregman sweepstakes.

The Cubs’ work this offseason isn’t done yet after their acquisition of reliever Ryan Pressly in a recent trade with the Astros. They’ve still been in contact with free agent third baseman Alex Bregman and are looking for more bullpen help.

The Chicago Cubs continue to be linked to Alex Bregman. Actually signing him seems farfetched based on the type of contract the star third baseman is looking fo

According to a new report, the Chicago Cubs are engaged with free agent third baseman Alex Bregman but are not necessarily in the driver's seat.

Reliever Ryan Pressly had one knock on Kyle Tucker, his longtime Astros teammate and the Cubs ’ new star right fielder. “Not the best fantasy football owner, I know that,” Pressly said in his introductory news conference over Zoom this week.

The Chicago Cubs have traded for Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly from the Astros and are one of possible teams for Alex Bregman in free agency.

So far this winter, the Cubs have added two key members of the Astros, Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, both via trade with Houston.

The Houston Astros are back in the running for Alex Bregman, but they will have to contend with a couple other teams in need of help at third base.

After the addition of Ryan Pressly, the Chicago Cubs are not done in their pursuit of improving the bullpen. The bullpen market is beginning to thin and one name that the team has been connected to is still out there.

The Tigers are staring at an enormous opportunity and shouldn’t blink. They’ve waited patiently, prudently, and now is the time to act.

I’d like to say business as usual, but it’s not been business as usual. It’s been very different,” said John Mozeliak of the team’s offseason.
