The Detroit Tigers are reportedly interested in free agent third baseman Alex Bregman, potentially reuniting him with manager A.J. Hinch, who previously managed him at the Houston Astros.
Bregman had a strong 2024 season, hitting .260 with 26 home runs and winning his first Gold Glove. However, his performance has declined since his All-Star appearances in 2019, and his market value varies widely, with predictions for a long-term contract ranging from $120 million to $189 million.
While the Tigers have a need at third base, their financial flexibility is limited, especially with other key contracts looming, including AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. The Astros and Boston Red Sox are also in the mix for Bregman.
