Following the conclusion of the season with the Dodgers winning the World Series, many teams across the league one being the Astros; waste no time in regards to the free agency market opening and working to get deals done before spring training in the new year. First person in line for the Astros, none other than Alex Bregman has began testing the market for what he may can be compensated for looking ahead far as his career wise. Initially declining the Astros qualifying offer which many believe to be a formality, Bregman looks to be aiming to test the market in regards to who and where might his next destination may be if not returning here in Houston as an Astro.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're gonna have to turn this matter over to Sean.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh no more, Shawn Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety
All right, Sean.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
What are you hearing out there now?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The Salisbury Steakout, Salisbury takeout on.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
The Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
It's time for the steak out here on the Shawn
Salisbury Show, Sean Brown and Tripley.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Before we get to.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
The steak out questions, say quick call seven Brian, welcome in.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Hey, good morning guys, Happy Friday to bote to y'all,
Triple e everybody. Hey, I hoping we could talk a
little bit about Alex Bregman this morning. Man. Uh, obviously,
baseball is in my blood. It's not baseball time. But
we've got the Texans doing their thing. I'm happy about that,
the Rockets are doing their thing, but baseball is at
(01:03):
the end of the day. That's what gets me excited.
It gets me up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Alex Bregma's contract details, I mean, yeah, they haven't been released,
and I guess I get it, but I just wanted
to get your thoughts on it, maybe Detroit. I really
wanted to see where y'all thought if it wasn't the Astros. Uh,
you know where the most logical fit might be for him?
And I say it might be with the Tigers or
(01:28):
the Mets. And so I wanted to just run that
by you guys this morning. And I really wanted to
be Houston obviously, But if it's not, where do you
guys think we're gonna be?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You know, Landing?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So actually I cut them off a little bit a
little bit too early.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Sorry about that, Brian, But that's actually gonna was gonna
be my stakeout question. So it's it's right on par
with what I wanted to ask Sean.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
There was a report out from John Haymon yesterday and
he noted in this article that he posted that reportedly
the Astros have reached out to Alex Bregman and Scott
Boris and offered him six years. Don't know the number
on it, but it's a contract of six years. My guess,
(02:15):
I would assume it's like twenty six a year, twenty
seven a year to start. Also, there's been reports that
the Tigers have offered Bregman four years.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
I'm gonna guess in the buck seventy range for the Astros,
somewhere in that range.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Then I also six read reportedly that the Tigers offered
him a four year deal. I've also heard that the
Mariners are in the Fray and the Mets so and.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
I would imagine the Mets are as far as best fit. Well,
the natural one is playing for his former manager in
aj Hinch and Detroit, but the best fit is where
the biggest contract is right and in the Mets.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't think that you're out of it.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
I mean, if you're the Seattle Mariners, if you're the
Boston Red Sox, if you're the Philadelphia Phillies, even though
you've got a third basement, they can be greedy. They
got money, and you can move players around. We've heard
Bregman's agents say he'd move to second base, but to me,
if Bregman was going to move to second base, you
better have a damn good third baseman defensively also, but
(03:18):
I would say there's probably going to be five or
six teams that make offersd Alex bregmant if he wants
to entertain it.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That long also mentioned in this article from John Hayman.
The Red Sox they've inquired about Bregman and the potential
of moving Rafaeld Devers to first, which we said, I mean,
we Sai a year ago.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
See how we said this last year.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
If there was anybody there'll be a perfect fit for
that Red Sox team, and to reunite with Alex Korra,
it would be Alex Bregman to play third base and
you move Rathfield Devers to first.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We said that.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
And if Bregman gets the stroke back to the way
I mean, is hitting like any's healthy, he may lead
the league in doubles with that left field wall.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I mean, he'll be as I maybe a tad bit hyperbolic,
but you get the point. And it's a good problem
to have here the Red Sox. And he's a far
better defensive glove guy than than Devers. Devers is a
better hitter, Bregman's a better glove guy, So Devers can
make that move. Yeah, and Bregman would be great over
(04:16):
there at third base. So I think that to answer
it was Brian right, who as I think that you're
you're looking at five or six teams, And there's always
one matter of fact I'd heard early in this this
uh like at the end of the year, between the
end of the year and now that Toronto was in play. Now,
(04:36):
I don't know if that's the case or not. But
if they blow if some it won't matter where the
fit will be. If somebody blows him out of the water,
then he's gonna take that offer.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
If it's close, then he's gonna go.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I would imagine where he maybe a park he likes
to hit it, if I'm talking about if it's not here,
a park he likes to hit it, and a comfort
level of a guy he understands, which could possibly be
Detroit when it comes to the manager.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And who who doesn't want to hit in Fenway Park?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, who wouldn't want to play there?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
As a right handed hitter who does not want to
hit there? And you know he'd be a welcome addition.
But I'm sure if the Mets are going all in
and trying to go one more level and go get
Soto and go get Bregman, which they can afford to do,
and they really can't. I mean they if they want to,
they can and keep Pete Alonzo. That's on them and
with their luxury tacks whatever they want to do with that.
(05:27):
But you want to you want to make yourself the
favorite and that's saying something with the Atlanta Braves in
the in the National League, and with the Philadelphia Phillies
and the Dodgers, but in your division, all of a
sudden you throw that group in there. How good does
that make the Mets as long as but the well
you're pitching, stay healthy and hold up.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I mean, they made a good run they sure past season,
especially into the playoffs. So you add that, it's those guys,
I mean, my goodness, yeah, they'd be the favorites.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
And that's what makes me think both Brian's our caller
and you and the answer this stakeout question, that's what
makes me think that somebody is going to push the envelope.
The greatest negotiations you can have as a player when
you're a free agent is to have a bunch of
teams interested and they're negotiating gets you other and you
(06:16):
get to sit back and the thing will go for you.
It'll raise ten or fifteen million over the course of
a contract because the demand for his services. And like
I said, it's not always the best player who gets
the money. It's the timing and being a good player.
And if you get to someone going back and forth
somebody just all of a sudden says, you know, I'm
not going to keep going back and forth, offer him
(06:37):
ten more million than you're offering in BAM and you
go and you do it.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I'm going to take a flyer here.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
And I'm going to say, if it's a six or
seven year deal, it's closer to three hundred than it
is closer to three hundred or one eighty five to
one ninety. Would I say, no, closer to two hundred,
not three hundred. Closer to two hundred, then it would
be I don't see what was the other one eleven years? Yeah,
for three hundred minutes. I don't see that happening. But
(07:07):
here in that report. But for me, I think you're
gonna find this Brian closer to two hundred than you
are one fifty. So that would be north this one
seventy five.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
And so that makes uh, I think that takes the
Astros out of.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
The more than likely.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Probably where do you think he ends up?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I know we're gonna cover this, you know, every time
a report comes out, we'll discuss it.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Okay, can we say put the Astros aside?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Take it?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Okay, I'm gonna say he ends up a Met or
a Tiger, and the Mets will be more equipped to
pay more money. Now, if aj Hinch says to just
do this, his clubhouse presence and his glove's gonna make
us even better. And with Scooble in this group, we
can win the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Maybe.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Yeah, but I'm saying it's north of a buck seventy five.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think that takes the Astros out of the running.
I think I still think he ends up in Boston.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
And for me, I left them out simply because that
would have been playing the favoritism for me, had him
here with the Astros. He goes to the Red Sox
and you know what if if they're gonna lose him
here in Houston, guess what wouldn't hurt my feelings as
a lifelong hardcore Socks fan. I would I'd be the
guy that would be can't lose that way for me? No, no, no,
(08:17):
when it comes to who you root for, I would
love it. And that may be a sneaky and we
know what they can do. They can pay it as well,
Yeah they can. They've got the money, sure do that
is for sure. All right, that's the stake. Let's get
back to the Texans.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Let's hear from offensive coordator Bobby Slow talking about the
offensive Bobby Slovac, My bad, My.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Bad, Bobby, want to make sure you get this right.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
And the adjustments they have made to the offensive line,
specifically with Jared Patterson playing the center position for the Texans.
That's next right here on Sportstalks seven to ninety. But
Daisy Sour Cream, the Daisy Dip launching the French onion
and ranch sour cream dips. I love these dips, and
these new dips from Daisy Sour Cream are a game changer.
(09:01):
They taste just as good if they were homemade. They're
made with Daisy sour cream, real herbs and spices, and
the new dips from Daisy Sour Cream are made with
ingredients that you can find in your kitchen nothing more.
So you've got to give it a try if you
have not. It's the French, onion and ranch dips from Daisy.
Add them to your game day spread. Use it with
(09:21):
your chips, your wings, your veggies, your other foods. They
go fantastic with everything that you have for your guests,
your holiday parties, your football parties, whether that's going to
be for college football this weekend, the NFL games on Sunday,
and then obviously next week into Thanksgiving with Christmas right
around the corner, and then New Year's Eve after that,
(09:43):
and it's the Daisy Dip from Daisy Sour Cream again.
The new ones French Onion and Ranch sour Cream. It
is phenomenal. Go over to your local grocery store, pick
up a couple of them, and it's the Daisy Dip
from Daisy Sour Cream. You cannot go wrong. Add it
to your game day spread. It's Daisy Dip by Daisy's
