On this episode, The Athletic’s Cody Stavenhagen and Kieran Steckley share the latest on where negotiations stand for the Detroit Tigers and Alex Bregman. They also dive into Gleyber Torres and the ripple effects of his signing. How will Colt Keith fare at first base? Who does he compare to? And will infield defense be a problem for the Tigers?

  1. Really wonder if Harris can get Bregman to take less money and/or a shorter duration contract. Hope Torres can get the stiff Baez to up his game at SS. Colt to 1B is okay if he flatlines at the dish Tork can be called up from Toledo.

  2. Of course i wanted Goldshmidt, but i think Torrez works well, too, for the year. Like you guys, I'm concerned with less than adequate infield defense. Of course we still have McKinsey. Bregman would be a great answer. I also worry about the glut of good minor league players. We have Lee, McGonigle, Briceno, etc. Will Colt Keith return to 2nd when Briceno arrives? What will happen with Malloy? I think the Pirates missed a big chance to take Tork. According to Locked On Pirates, they picked up a different guy for 1st base. Didn't sound like those guys were elated with the choice. We probably could have landed strikeout pitching depth. Hmm… Who needs young 1st base talent they see upside with and development potential?
    Looking forward to Javy, if he is fixed after his surgury, to have an upsurge in production. He needs that to increase his value to go to a different team 2026. Thx guys

  7. I'm super exited! These kids have tasted wining and the postseason. Not easy! Harris is dealing. I would love it if Baerga was right about Bregman. Let's Go Tigers!!

  8. signing Bregman be the another Javy Baez contract………….CAUTION DON'T DO IT……..Kevin Mcgonigle Bryce Rainer Tigers future at 3rd base and SS and Super Max to cap it off

  10. Wait, did he say that Colt Keith only receives a $3M incentive bonus if he were to win a league MVP !? Man, winning an MVP on his current contract, should be worth upwards of a $25M bonus!

  11. Bregman got the correct market value contract offer from Astros, anything above 160M is over paying, and has a lot of risk. I like Torrez to one year contract, he needs a big year to get his goal, almost no risk for Tigers. I keep thinking Colt will get back to 3B, but needs time to get his shoulder back in shape.
