MLB insider predicts Tigers as top destination for 2x All-Star Alex Bregman, skeptical about Red Sox - Source: Imagn
Two-time All-Star Alex Bregman’s free agency is a “mystery,” according to MLB insider Robert Murray, who sees the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays as the top contenders to sign him. This is despite rumored interest from teams such as the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets and Chicago Cubs.
Murray views the Tigers as the most likely landing spot, citing their clear need, organizational fit and connection to manager A.J. Hinch. Bregman and Hinch were both part of the Houston Astros' 2017 World Series-winning team.
"I think the Tigers are a threat here," Murray said Thursday on the "Baseball Insiders" podcast (9:54 mark). "They have the need. They have the connection with A.J. Hinch from his time together with Bregman in Houston."
