During the Ryan Pressly trade conference call Tuesday, Astros GM Dana Brown acknowledged the team has talked internally about a reunion with Alex Bregman, though he added he has not yet reached out to agent Scott Boras.

With spring training less than two weeks away, the free agent first baseman remains unsigned and seems destined to settle for a contract that will be considerably lower than his expectation, just like the “Boras Four” from last season. Even so, he doesn’t seem desperate enough to accept just anything — reports indicate quite the opposite, in fact.
