Alex Bregman Addresses Speculation, Speaks Out About Considering Contract Extension After the 2025 Season with Houston Astros
Houston Astros star Alex Bregman has addressed the ongoing speculation about his future with the team, confirming that he is actively considering a contract extension after the 2025 season. The third baseman, who has been a key figure in the Astros' success, expressed his excitement about the possibility of continuing his career in Houston while also acknowledging the importance of evaluating his options.
“I’m focused on finishing strong this season and giving everything I have to the team,” Bregman said. “The idea of a contract extension is definitely on my mind, but right now, it’s about staying focused on the game and helping the team win. We’ll see what the future holds.”
Bregman, who has been with the Astros since 2016, has established himself as one of the top players in the league and has been a crucial part of the team’s championship successes. With his current contract set to expire after the 2025 season, both Bregman and the Astros organization are expected to have discussions regarding his long-term future with the team.
“I’ve had an amazing experience with the Astros, and I love playing here,” Bregman added. “But I’ll take the time to really think through all the options when the time comes. Right now, I’m just focused on helping this team win another title.”
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Bregman and the potential for an extension that could keep him in Houston for many more years to come.
Joe Flacco Has Honest Admission About His Trade From Browns
The Cleveland Browns shocked their locker room and the league when they traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals just days after benching the veteran quarterback in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel.
The move came unexpectedly, even for head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Few inside the organization anticipated the front office would act so quickly on a deal that sent a respected leader to a division rival.
Flacco addressed the trade openly when asked about the sudden transition to Cincinnati.
“So honestly, like when this ended up happening, I think there was a little bit of excitement from her (wife Dana). Yeah, sure, looked at each other and were like, ‘What the hell?’ But I think it was ultimately excitement about what the future holds,” Flacco said.

His response reflected both surprise and optimism about the next chapter of his career with his new team.
The 40-year-old had been benched following a 1-3 start where he threw six interceptions and lost two fumbles.
He served as the backup in London Week 5, but with Cleveland committed to developing younger quarterbacks, both organizations found mutual benefit in the arrangement.
For the first time in franchise history, the Browns traded with the Bengals, giving Cincinnati an immediate veteran option under center.
Flacco’s departure leaves Cleveland’s quarterback room in transition, featuring rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, practice squad player Bailey Zappe, and Deshaun Watson recovering from a re-ruptured Achilles.
