There’s a good chance Alex Bregman, the star third baseman, has already played his final game with the Houston Astros. After the team’s postseason ended with their wild-card round loss to the Detroit Tigers, Bregman seemed to hint at the possibility on Wednesday.<\/p>
Bregman, for the first time in his career, is heading into free agency this offseason after he couldn’t come to terms on a new deal with the Astros. Following the season-ending defeat, he left a short message for Astros fans on social media.<\/p>
\n“Thank you Houston,”<\/em> Bregman wrote, keeping it simple but heartfelt:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
Fans in Bregman’s comments section expressed their thanks for his time with the team<\/h2>
Many saw this post as a sign that Bregman could be leaving this offseason. Now 30, Bregman enters free agency without reaching a contract extension with the Astros. He’s represented by Scott Boras, and with his skills, he’s likely to be the top third baseman on the market, potentially landing a massive deal.<\/p>
