The Detroit Tigers are eyeing Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman as a potential offseason acquisition. With Bregman possibly opting out of a $40 million player option for 2026, the Tigers could seize the opportunity to enhance their roster. Bregman is currently experiencing career-high averages in pulled fly ball rate and hard-hit percentage, suggesting he may seek a lucrative, long-term contract.
