MLB Trade Rumors: Bregman's Potential Return and Padres' Pitching Scenarios
A look into the latest Major League Baseball trade rumors, including possible reunions and player movements.
As the start of spring training approaches, MLB teams are active in trade discussions and free agency. Here are the latest trade rumors:
Houston Astros and Alex Bregman
The Astros are considering a reunion with free-agent infielder Alex Bregman. However, The Athletic’s Chandler Rome cautions against overoptimism regarding this potential return:
“Getting the majority of Pressly’s salary off the books will obviously help Houston’s pursuit of Bregman, but to think the team picked up the phone this week and started shopping Pressly as a direct result of Bregman’s availability isn’t true.”
Alex Bregman is frontrunner to return from the list of interested teams which includes the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays.
San Diego Padres
The Padres are reportedly open to trading pitcher Michael King. They are in a disinvestment mode, exploring trade options moving into the new season.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks are not stopping at their recent acquisition of Corbin Burnes. They are open to adding more players as they seek to reinforce their roster before the season kicks off.
