Alex Bregman has been signed with the Boston Red Sox for almost a week now, and yet no one seems ready to move on. Agent Scott Boras reached out by letter to the Detroit Free Press on Monday, claiming that the Detroit Tigers were indeed one of Bregman’s top choices and that Scott Harris had turned down two final contract offers prior to the infielder finally going to Boston.
Evan Petzold of the Freep reports Boras claims dutifully, but without any word from the Tigers, and none likely to come as Harris doesn’t like to talk free agents in any detail in the first place, some skepticism is worthwhile.
