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.
