Tigers confirmed to have a 5+ year offer on the table for Bregman. The Astros’ standing offer of 6 years/$156 million is described as “unlikely to get the deal done”.​

I don't understand all of this talk about wanting to trade Tork. I don't know a single reason why they would want to do it. If he doesn't make the team out of spring training, just send him to Toledo.

I'm getting the idea that they might be sick of him. Sounds like he's not very receptive to changes. But that's coming from the trash tigers beat writers and bloggers who we both know are full of shit more than not.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The free agency process for the better players can be brutal as this blog published yesterday.

Alex Bregman has been on the market for a full 3 months with multiple interested teams. Yet he remains unsigned as his agent, Scott Boras, attempts to keep raising the price by playing teams off against each other for his client’s services.
There are only 2 weeks left before players start reporting and more than a few teams are waiting to see how the market will settle once Bregman is signed so they can go after the remaining free agents. At least 5 teams have back up options depending upon where Bregman signs. Currently, the free agent market is stuck in neutral until Boras moves his client.
But waiting this long to sign one of the better free agents wreaks havoc on a team’s roster. Not knowing who they will be able to sign until the end. Ending up with none of the players they wanted. Being unable to trade current players because they don’t know if they will acquire the desired free agent.
Currently, the Tigers’ roster is in limbo. There are questions about 3B and on a related issue, also associated concerns about 1B and SS and roles for 3 of their infielders. Depending upon what happens with Bregman, there may also be changes in RF.
And of course, if Bregman does sign with the Tigers, payroll for pitchers may also change as well.
What do you think of the free agent process as a whole?
Should the Tigers return to the days of adding multiple free agents?
Should they only turn to free agency when they need to fill just 1 particular position?
Should they avoid free agency all-together and focus on utilizing their top farm system and via trades?
Or should they simply avoid dealing with Scott Boras? (Note: Boras has 7 Tigers as clients including Tarik Skubal and Jackson Jobe.)

How should the Tigers handle the free agent process going forward?

1. Return to the days of loading up on free agents.

2. Only enter the free agent market when they have 1 crucial need.

3. Supply their needs via the farm system and trades.

4. Use free agency but avoid dealing with Scott Boras.
