The Houston Astros 'most likely' player to be traded doesn't come as a surprise heading into the MLB trade deadline.
Around the league, there isn't a team with more to deal with at the deadline than the Astros. General manager Dana Brown has made it clear that he doesn't plan to sell, but things can change.
Bregman has been the talk of the season around the league. The star third baseman has yet to come to an agreement on an extension and will hit free agency at the end of the year. Past moves indicate that the Astros aren't against moving on from players, but Bregman feels different. He's been with the team since they drafted him in the first round of the 2015 MLB draft and has been a major part of their two World Series titles.
A two-time All-Star, Bregman can swing it with the best of them when he's at the top of his game. However, the recently turned 30-year-old hasn't played well this season, slashing just .209/.277/.330 with four home runs. If they were to move him, the return wouldn't be what it once was, a factor that Brown and the rest of the front office will have to think about.Jon Conahan has been covering all major sports since 2019. He is a 2022 graduate of the Bellisario School of Journalism at Penn State University and previously played D1 baseball.
