Houston's longtime star at second base is reportedly considering a position move in order to retain Bregman in free agency, as first reported by USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Altuve would fill the Astros' current void in left field, while Paredes—the assumed starting third baseman sans Bregman—would move to second.

With the offseason continuing on and pitchers and catchers set to meet roughly in a few more weeks, the Astros still have a bit of a window still to get a few assets to the roster and close deals before the spring arrives.
