Of all the top free agents available this offseason, long-time Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is one of the few that really makes sense for the Detroit Tigers. This is close to an ideal fit for them right now in terms of the player. Whether Bregman’s eventual contract fits the Tigers’ long-term plans is less clear.
We’ve already discussed some of the free agent hitters available to help balance out the heavily left-handed Tigers’ lineup. There are certainly plenty of options available in terms of simply adding offense, but few of them fit the Tigers roster and team philosophy very well.
