I can't believe they resigned McKinstry. I could care less about his 18 positions he plays but if he gets more than 50 PA I'll be disappointed.

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

It has been confirmed that the Detroit Tigers have been in discussions with 3Ber Alex Bregman and his agent, Scott Boras.

This means that they have concerns about Jace Jung manning the hot corner. Jung had a rough intro to the MLB level last year and was a negative defender.

Granted, the sample size is very small and it was his first time playing at the MLB level. He also just started playing that position a year ago. Performance is expected to not be ideal early on. The questions to ask is whether he will get significantly better and how long it might take.

But Jung’s original position is 2B. He was moved to 3B to accommodate concerns over Colt Keith’s shoulder. Currently, the Tigers have no one in the minor league system capable of taking over anytime soon.

Yet, the Tigers’ infield is weak overall defensively and ranks at the bottom of MLB. Only Jake Rogers and Trey Sweeney are plus defenders.

Which brings us to Alex Bregman. He just won a Gold Glove at 3B and is a substantial plus defender every year.

Potentially, the Tigers may be thinking of shuffling their entire infield. If they acquire Bregman, they could shift Jung back to 2B and move Keith to 1B. Colt has spent his entire minor league career since 2021 shuffling back and forth between 2B and 3B.

Spencer Torkelson would be the odd man out.

But the Tigers are reported to also be interested in Paul Goldschmidt and Yandy Diaz. Both play 1B.

Should the team trade for 1 of these players, they could keep Jung at 3B and Keith at 2B, only replacing Torkelson.

In the past – and under the former regimes – moving players positionally hasn’t worked out well. You may remember when Miguel Cabrera was moved to 3B and Nick Castellanos saw 5 different positional moves.

What should the Tigers do?

Keep that infield the same, only replacing Torkelson with a new 1Ber?

Or signing a new 3Ber and shifting Jung and Keith to 2B and 1B respectively?

Today’s blog addresses this question and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!

For this one blog only, you’ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can also respond to other readers.

TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.

Ready?

What should the Tigers do about their infield for the 2025 season?

1. Keep the infield the same and sign a new 1Ber.

2. Sign a new 3Ber and shift Jung and Keith.

FOOL ME ONCE….
Totally Tigers

I believe the Detroit Tigers are learning a lesson.
Never sign a player named “Spencer.” Worse yet, a player named “Spencer T.”
Especially a player named Spencer T. who has an agent named Scott Boras.
It now appears that lighting may be trying to strike twice.
 

Days Of Roar Detroit Tigers sign Alex Cobb, but what's the plan to upgrade offense? 59 minutes.

The Detroit Tigers signed right-hander Alex Cobb to a one-year, $15 million contract, adding the 37-year-old veteran to their starting rotation alongside Tarik Skubal, Reese Olson and Jackson Jobe. But is Cobb the right move? Evan and Mark explore the pros and cons of the Cobb signing, along with the Tigers' need to upgrade at third base or first base to contend for the American League Central in 2025. Could free agents like Alex Bregman and Paul Goldschmidt or trade candidates like Yandy Díaz fill the gaps? Things are trending in the right direction with Bregman. The guys break down the potential competition for Spencer Torkelson as Colt Keith and Justyn-Henry Malloy take ground balls at first base this offseason. Evan also shares his 2025 Opening Day roster prediction 1.0, highlighting concerns at third base, first base, shortstop, the bench and the bullpen. Additionally, how do the Max Fried and Blake Snell contracts impact Tarik Skubal's value, both now and in the future?
 
The Detroit Tigers have signed RHP Ryan Miller to a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training. Miller pitched 13 innings with the Angels last season and posted a 4.15 ERA with 11 strikeouts.
