The Alex Bregman sweepstakes is seemingly down to a few top suitors this winter. With the race for the star infielder slowly coming to a close, it’s important to note the Houston Astros don’t appear to be a finalist to retain the star.
Bregman is reportedly looking for a deal worth around $200 million this winter.
Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report recently listed the Detroit Tigers as one of the favorites to land Bregman, seemingly favoring Detroit over a few other big-market teams.

“Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reported on Tuesday that negotiations between Alex Bregman and the Tigers are ‘at a standstill,’ and that the 31-year-old third baseman with six seasons of at least 4.0 bWAR in the past eight years is not exactly on the brink of a new deal,” Miller wrote. “Of the teams that have been reportedly in the hunt, Detroit has arguably the greatest need for Bregman’s glove and his right-handed bat.
“But if they’re not willing to meet his contract demands, maybe he falls to the (New York) Mets, (Boston) Red Sox, or (Toronto) Blue Jays and their much larger budgets. (Toronto is least likely of that trio after recently landing Anthony Santander and pushing its payroll to or even beyond the luxury-tax threshold, but it could still happen.)”
The Tigers may be the most desperate to bring in a talent like Bregman. With this desperation comes the willingness to overspend.
A team like the Mets or Blue Jays may not be willing to give him $200 million because they’ve already spent a lot of money this winter. The Tigers haven’t spent as much and they’re more desperate.
Acquiring Bregman would be the move to take them to the next level.
