Could Alex Bregman Be Leaving Houston?

As winter meetings kickoff here in the month of December for the MLB, many teams set out to meet and disclose with one another during this time period between the offseason and spring training in regards to the free agents listed yearly that become available to tamper with. Far as the Astros, first on their list happens to be none other than their veteran third basemen, Alex Bregman. Hitting the open market and testing his value, Bregman has entered the free agency gateway as he declined the Astros qualifying offer of $21.05M to return as an Astro. With Juan Soto signing a record breaking 15-year $765M deal with the New York Mets yesterday afternoon, has now raised a bit of an urgency signing free agents and getting deals done. Following Bregman declining the Astros qualifying offer, along with his agent Scott Boras and the team a bit distant from qualifying negotiations, could the veteran third basemen be leaving Houston sooner than we think?
