Alex Bregman to the Tigers.
It's a fit that makes sense to Tigers fans, connecting
the 30 year old free agent to his former manager
in AJ Hinch and to a team that could use
a solid third baseman, let alone one of the best
in the game.
It all checks out, but it's the money that has
always been the reality check.
Well, the Tigers have interest and have been engaged in
conversations.
Evan Petzold of the Free Press reports Bregman has interest
in Detroit.
That is according to his agent, Scott Boris, who talked
with reporters at the winter meetings.
Boris said relationships in Detroit and the new age competitiveness
that the Tigers boast, those are attractive options.
But, and this is the key, the Tigers, according to
Petzl, do not want to pay Bregman 200 million, and
that is the number he's seeking.
The dude can hit that little round ball.
He can 200 million.
That's a that's a quite the price tag.
As we've seen in baseball, though, the price tags have
gone crazy, and so if the Tigers are willing to
pay it, they might get their guy.
