The Tigers are circling back on a name they seriously considered this winter. According to former MLB GM and current analyst Jim Bowden, Detroit is one of three teams keeping tabs on Alex Bregman as the trade deadline approaches.

"Bregman surely won’t exercise his option to stay ($80M, two years) but he’s open to extension in Boston, which fits him," Heyman writes, via the New York Post. "Talks haven’t begun yet but there’s pressure to lock up Bregman after trading Devers to make room for him at 3B."

Conflicting reports regarding Alex Bregman's future with the Red Sox have emerged in the weeks leading up to MLB's trade deadline.
