Yes, that's right: For the second time this offseason, Brown and the Astros have had their best-laid offseason plans foiled by a no-trade clause. A few weeks after Nolan Arenado nixed a trade to Houston, Pressly reportedly put the kibosh on a deal that would've sent the righty to the bullpen-needy Chicago Cubs.

A reunion between Alex Bregman and the Houston Astros could be on the horizon, which means Jose Altuve could be on the move -- positionally.

Alex Bregman could be headed for an Astros reunion after all. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported Thursday that Houston is “keeping the door ajar” to potentially re-sign the star third baseman. The Athletic added that talks have resumed between the two sides.

While Boras has maniacally pursued as much money as possible, Altuve is willing to go above and beyond to make sure Bregman gets paid in Houston.

The Chicago Cubs are working to add a notable pitcher to the back of their bullpen. The Houston Astros have held trade talks with teams about dealing relief pitcher Ryan Pressly.

This afternoon provided a surprise when USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that the Astros were leaving the door open to bringing back Alex Bregman. It was generally expected that the Astros had moved on once they acquired Isaac Paredes and signed Christian Walker to play the corner infield spots.
