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.

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.
