Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.

Altuve, who stands 5-foot-6, has never played the outfield at any point over his more than 15,000 defensive innings.

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.
