The Houston Astros will have quite a few important decisions to make this offseason, but the most important decision is going to be whether they pay Alex Bregman the money that he's asking for or not.
Bregman is entering free agency this offseason after a very successful nine-year stretch with the Astros. Up until now, it's been unclear whether the Astros would put an aggressive effort into retaining their All-Star third baseman or not.

"They have been productive and we hope that some good things happen," Astros general manager Dana Brown told Murray. "I think we have a really good chance."
"Elsewhere for the Astros, the team has a surplus of pitching and has not ruled out possibly trading from that strength to upgrade a different part of the roster," Murray wrote."
Bregman, 30, won two World Series rings in his nine years with Houston. The third baseman won a Gold Glove, a Silver Slugger, and was named to two All-Star Games with Houston. He slugged 191 home runs and accounted for nearly 40 WAR to this point.
Other potential fits for Bregman include the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, but if Houston is aggressive enough, they should be able to bring him back.
