HOUSTON -- Winning a World Series in his first full season in the Major Leagues won't be as challenging as trying to repeat, something no team has done in nearly 20 years. That's why Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has been grinding in the gym this offseason in preparation for Spring Training, which begins in a month.
Bregman's whirlwind offseason, which began with a busy week of interviews and appearances in the wake of the Astros' World Series victory over the Dodgers last fall, continued into the gym and will take him and his teammates to West Palm Beach, Fla.
