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

The Houston Astros and Alex Bregman are yet to confirm their much awaited reunion. It was reported last week that the player and his agent Scott Boras had resumed negotiations with the club.

Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.

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.

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.

Alex Bregman remains a free agent, with the Astros and Cubs among potential remaining suitors for the third baseman. Chicago already has acquired two players from Houston's championship era in Ryan Pressly and Kyle Tucker via separate trades.

The Alex Bregman sweepstakes seem to be heating up, but recent reports suggest that the Cubs might not be willing to keep up in the impending bidding war.

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.

While the Cubs have been connected to Alex Bregman in free agency, the third baseman actually signing with Chicago is unlikely.

The first few teams that come up in mind when talking about Alex Bregman's free agency are the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and the Detroit Tigers.

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