    Tigers link to Alex Bregman makes Chris Ilitch look cheaper than usual

    Detroit has a chance to finally get their man, just a few months too late.
    The Detroit Tigers could finally get Alex Bregman after all. If the Boston Red Sox make Bregman available at the trade deadline, the Tigers could finally get the third baseman they heavily pursued this offseason. And they could get him for a much cheaper price than what they were offering him this past winter.

    Despite being offered more money over more years, Bregman spurned the Tigers for Boston over the offseason. But with the Red Sox going through a 2025 season that’s already had more ups and downs than a roller coaster, the team could look to pivot toward the future around Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell — and look to get something in return for Bregman before he opts out of his deal in a few months. Mayer has been playing third basein Bregman’s absence. While he said he’s open to moving positions if necessary, trading Bregman would clear up the logjam.

    Chris Ilitch is known for being a big spender, but he could have the cheaper option with Bregman. Bregman has been swinging a hot bat this season so it would be in Detroit’s best interest to add him if they hope to return to the AL Division Series and go on a deeper run in 2025.

    The Detroit Tigers can’t balk at a second chance to get Alex Bregman

    Matt Vierling’s injury-plagued season has turned the hot corner into a black hole for Detroit. Their best bet is probably waiting it out; they’re still atop the AL Central division, so it’s not like they have to get greedy. But if Vierling’s injury lingers and Bregman’s quad injury clears up before the deadline, it might be worth exploring again.
