WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —
Astros GM Dana Brown anticipates making offers.
“I’m always open to having those conversations and talk it through,” Tucker said. “I’d rather not prolong it forever.″
A two-time All-Star, Tucker, 27, hit .284 last season with 29 homers, 30 stolen bases and a career-best 112 RBI.
Bregman, who turns 30 on March 30, is also a two-time All-Star. He batted .262 with 25 homers and 98 RBI last year.
“I expect to have the best season I’ve ever had,” he said Sunday. “My body feels in incredible shape, my swing feels better than ever.″
Bregman is represented by agent Scott Boras, who usually prefers that his clients test the free agent market.
“We’re listening to everything the team has to say,″ Bregman said. “I’m letting Scott and the Astros do that together and handle that for me. So that way I can be fully focused on baseball and winning and do the things I love to do playing ball for this great city.″
“I absolutely loved every single second here,″ Bregman added. “Being able to put on this jersey is a dream come true. When it comes to a contract, I let Scott do that. That’s why I have an attorney working for me.″
