Sad News Alex Bregman announced the death of his son earlier today….
Astros’ Star Jose Altuve Urges Astros to Bring Back Alex Bregman.Houston Astros’ star second baseman and clubhouse leader Jose Altuve knows that his word carries a lot of weight with the organization. He is now trying to use that fact to help third baseman Alex Bregman, who is a pending free agent, remain with the organization beyond this season.
While speaking with reporters after the Astros’ loss to the Detroit Tigers in the AL Wild-Card series, Altuve used the opportunity to urge the franchise to re-sign Bregman.“I don’t want to think about my last game with Breggy,” Altuve said. “I’m pretty confident he’s going to be our third baseman next year. We have to. We’re not going to be the same organization without him. In my mind, there’s not a chance this is the last game.”
Bregman spent his entire career in the majors with the Astros. He made his MLB debut in 2016 and since then became a two-time All-Star while helping the team win the World Series in 2017 and 2022. Bregman is currently sixth on the Astros’ all-time list in home runs with 191 home runs and ninth in RBIs with 663.
“Since the day he got here, the whole organization changed in a better direction,” Altuve added. “He made this team way better. Like I said, there is hopefully a big chance for him to stay here, and not only that, but retire here.”
Bregman said on previous occasions that he would love to remain in Houston. However, considering he will be one of the top players in free agency this upcoming winter, the only way that will happen is if the Astros come with a huge offer. Astros fans are convinced that Texas politician cursed team in the playoffs yet again….Our experts rank 2024 Arizona Fall League rosters.There is a ton that goes into constructing an Arizona Fall League roster.
Each AFL club receives prospects from five separate organizations, all with different needs and priorities. Some want their best prospects to spend time in the desert. Others primarily want formerly injured players to make up for lost at-bats and innings. And some are out to get longer looks at players headed for Rule 5 eligibility in the offseason. With those and many other considerations, you still have to fill out a roster balanced between the nine positions on the field and ample depth behind them.
After all that movement, there are always plenty of reasons to get excited everywhere across the Valley of the Sun, but even so, some AFL rosters come looking brighter than others. Below is a ranking of the most loaded Fall League rosters as the circuit gets rolling this week:Organizations: Braves, Brewers, Mariners, Marlins, Padres
Top 100 prospects: Ethan Salas, C, Padres (No. 19); Colt Emerson, SS, Mariners (No. 27); Leodalis De Vries, SS, Padres (No. 28); Cole Young, SS/2B, Mariners (No. 38)
Total Top 30 prospects: 20
You want the most loaded group in terms of Top 30 prospects? Check. You want the joint-most Top 100 prospects on a single roster? Check. You want those Top 100 prospects playing premium positions? Check, check, check. The Mariners and Padres — Peoria’s two typical talent pools — bring the big names above, and it’ll be interesting to see how the Javelinas specifically balance the shortstop position. Salas, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back from an uneven age-18 campaign at High-A, though he was showing signs of a turnaround from August onward. Drake Baldwin (Braves) and Brock Wilken (Brewers) bring plenty of power to the table as well, and this is one of the deepest pitching staffs in the Fall League, with seven arms ranked in their club’s Top 30s. In fact, none of Peoria’s five parent clubs sent fewer than three of their Top 30 prospects, highlighting just how deep the Javs will be in the coming weeks.
