The Houston Astros could look at targeting a star third baseman from the NL West.
have overcome a ton of adversity throughout the 2024 MLB season. Amid tons of injury issues, the team has remained competitive and in the playoff hunt.
Heading into Sunday's MLB action, the Astros hold a 67-56 record. They have won 10 out of their last 11 games and are currently four games ahead of theWhile things are going well on the field, the front office is already looking ahead to the MLB offseason. One big question mark will be the future of star third baseman Alex Bregman. He is set to hit free agency. Houston will likely look to re-sign him, but Bregman will receive a lot of interest from teams around the league as well."However, they may have a hole to fill in the offseason when Alex Bregman hits free agency, but they could potentially pivot to Matt Chapman, who is currently with the San Francisco Giants.
Chapman has had a quality season with the Giants in 2024. He has played in 122 games so far, batting .245/.335/.441 to go along with 19 home runs and 61 RBI. Those numbers are quality production that would certainly help replace Bregman if Houston goes after him.It will be interesting to see what the offseason has in store for the Astros. Bregman could very well be re-signed to a long-term deal, but if he heads elsewhere, don't be surprised if Houston turns its attention to a player like Chapman.Evan Massey is a sports reporter and analyst who covers both the NFL and NBA.
