Houston Astros star José Altuve has made it clear that he is determined to see his teammate Alex Bregman stay in Houston. Altuve recently spoke out about his hopes to keep Bregman with the Astros, stating that he plans to tell Astros owner Jim Crane that Bregman needs to remain a part of the team’s future.
Altuve, who has shared the field with Bregman for several successful seasons, expressed his belief that Bregman should retire as an Astro. He emphasized that Bregman’s contributions to the organization have been invaluable and that now is the time for the team to show their loyalty in return. “In my mind, there is not a chance this is his last game,” Altuve said. “He gave a lot to this organization, so it’s time for us as an organization to pay him back and make him stay here.”
Bregman, who has been a cornerstone of the Astros’ lineup, faces uncertainty about his future with the team. As one of the franchise’s key players, his performance and leadership have played a crucial role in the Astros’ success over the years. Altuve made it clear that the thought of Bregman leaving is not one he is willing to entertain.
Altuve admitted that he would be “heartbroken” if Bregman were not back with the team next season. His comments reflect the deep bond and mutual respect the two players share, both as teammates and friends.
Astros fans will be watching closely as the offseason unfolds, hoping that Altuve’s passionate plea to keep Bregman in Houston will influence the team’s decision-makers. With Altuve’s determination to fight for his teammate’s return, the pressure is now on the Astros’ front office to make the ri
