Houston Astros owner Jim Crane acknowledged that the team will "definitely" make a long-term offer to third baseman Alex Bregman before he reaches free agency, but the 29-year-old's age and position present a different circumstance compared to Jose Altuve's recent extension. Bregman's potential deal could range from seven to nine years, with market expectations influenced by his age and position. While the Astros could financially accommodate a Bregman extension, it would require a departure from the club's previous contractual norms, as owner Jim Crane has never signed a player for more than a $150MM guarantee or given out a contract longer than six years.
