Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly pursuing Alex Bregman with some legitimate urgency. Detroit is seeking an impact right-handed bat to balance their lineup. The Tigers recently signed Gleyber Torres to a one-year contract. The Tigers are interested in Santander, according to Detroit Free Press reporter Evan Petzold.

Gleyber Torres recently shared his thoughts on moving on from the New York Yankees, highlighting both his gratitude for his time in the Bronx and his readiness for a fresh start with the Detroit Tigers. After seven years with the Yankees, Torres confirmed he never received an offer from the Yankees this offseason, marking the end of a chapter that saw him grow as both a player and a person. "After the World Series, I got a lot of phone calls from other teams and just focused on finding an opportunity in another place," Torres said.

Southwest Michigan native and former Detroit Tiger Charlie Maxwell has died at the age of 97.

The Milwaukee Brewers can win the National League Central once again in 2025. Milwaukee won 93 games in 2024 and the division still is vulnerable. The Brewers are loaded with exciting, young talent. The Chicago Cubs made a big move by adding Kyle Tucker, but there haven't been many other major moves in the division.

2024 saw former Indiana High School Sports Awards Player of the Year Max Clark rise within the Detroit Tigers organization, now as its No. 2 prospect.

The Detroit Tigers are a team that a lot of people are keeping a close eye on after the unprecedented run they finished the 2024 season on. Coming into the offseason, many people thought that the Tigers would go on a spending spree, looking to augment their emerging young core with established veterans. If Detroit is going to be a perennial playoff team in the American League and eventually contend for the World Series, some upgrades were needed on the roster. To this point, the biggest moves have been one-year, $15 million contracts handed out to starting pitcher Alex Cobb and second baseman Gleyber Torres in free agency.

On June 29th, the Detroit Tigers were 37-46, fourth place in the AL Central, completely out of the conversation. Within a month they would trade Jack Flaherty, Andrew Chafin, Carson Kelly and Mark Canha to competitors. After getting somewhat hot before the ASG break, the Tigers were 52-59 on August 2nd. The Tigers lapped the Twins and kept the series tighter than the Royals did.

After an excellent 2024 campaign, the future is looking bright for the Detroit Tigers. Last season, the Tigers were able to surprise everyone with an outstanding run in the second half of the season to reach the postseason. Making the playoffs snapped a lengthy playoff drought for Detroit, and they were able to upset the Houston Astros in the American League Wild Card Round. Now that the Tigers have proven that they can be a playoff team and win in the postseason, expectations are much higher for the franchise.

The Detroit Tigers submitted their materials and presentation, but they won't hear from Roki Sasaki's agent, Joel Wolfe, until after the holidays.
