Agree with all but the bolded.
WHY??? He doesn't have the leverage or the market he thinks he deserves and it's not crazy to think that the best offer he has received is the first offer from the Astros. Why would you expect Crane and Brown to bid against themselves here. It's almost time for pitchers and catchers to report and we're still dealing with this will he or won't he drama? Goddamn Alex, make a damn decision already. Stop listening to Scott Boras and listen to your buddy and teammate Jose Altuve, who notably did not pull any shit like this and ordered Boras to get a deal done because he wanted to stay in Houston. And now he's gone to the team and said he'd play left if necessary to get Alex back in the clubhouse.
I do not begrudge Bregman doing what's best for him and his family, but at this point it feels like he's holding the Astros and especially Astros fans hostage. He has an overly generous offer on the table from Jim Crane. He is a good player, but he is not a superstar talent and he hasn't made the All Star team in quite some time. Take the deal as is or move on. Just make a decision.
