After third baseman Alex Bregman declined the Houston Astros' $156 million standing offer to re-sign him, it remains to be seen if the front office will make a better offer.
Bregman has entered free agency after his five-year deal with Houston ended this year. He's reportedly looking to cash in and sign a big contract this winter.
On the Baseball Today podcast, former MLB third baseman Trevor Plouffe suggested that the Astros should trade Kyle Tucker for a haul of prospects and make the the financial room to offer Bregman a bigger contract:
"I know it's a crushing blow to that team because Kyle Tucker is one of the best hitters in all of baseball," Plouffe said.
