Astros Eye Willy Adames as Backup Plan to Alex Bregman

The Houston Astros are reportedly keeping their options open by staying in contact with free agent Willy Adames as a potential backup plan if they are unable to re-sign Alex Bregman. This information comes from a report by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

Adames, primarily a shortstop, is open to transitioning to third base for the right team and contract, which makes him a viable option for the Astros. Jon Paul Morosi of MLB Network has also linked Adames to Houston, further fueling speculation about the team's interest.


Additionally, Rosenthal mentions that Jorge Polanco is another free agency fallback option for the Astros. Despite these considerations, the team remains committed to efforts to re-sign Bregman, who has been a cornerstone of the franchise for nine years.

​As the offseason progresses, the Astros will continue to evaluate their options to ensure they have a strong lineup for the upcoming season.
