The Detroit Tigers faced significant challenges this season, particularly in their corner infield positions, which hindered their overall performance. As president of baseball operations Scott Harris looks to enhance the roster, addressing first and third base is crucial.

Among potential targets are Christian Walker, Pete Alonso, and Alex Bregman, though their acquisition may require substantial financial commitment. A more affordable option could be Wilmer Flores of the San Francisco Giants, who has the versatility to play multiple infield positions.

Flores, who has had an injury-plagued season, has a team option and a player option that could influence his availability. Despite a disappointing year, he has previously demonstrated strong offensive capabilities, making him an intriguing budget-friendly choice for the Tigers if he becomes a free agent.

The Boston Red Sox are not in immediate need of a first baseman as Triston Casas is expected to hold the position for the 2025 season. However, the team may consider adding a right-handed power hitter from the free-agent market.

Leading the list of potential signings is New York Mets' Pete Alonso, who has consistently hit over 34 home runs each season. Other notable free agents include Christian Walker, Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Rizzo, and Rhys Hoskins, each bringing unique strengths and challenges.
