Part 2/8:
As of now, the Houston Astros have reportedly extended a six-year contract worth $156 million to Bregman. This offer could set the stage for what might become the largest contract in franchise history, surpassing the extension initially given to José Altuve back in 2018. The comparisons between Bregman's current negotiations and those of other star players, like Matt Chapman who recently signed for six years at $151 million, are indicative of the competitive nature of off-season contract talks.
