A World Series parade, a former Cy Young winner out for the season, and a whole new offseason of Alex Bregman speculation. This is what the Ber months are all about, with the hot stove warming (free agency opens up on Thursday!), and awards season rolling on over the next two weeks.
In today’s news we look at whether or not Alex Bregman would be a good option for the Tigers still, plus the unsurprising announcement that Tarik Skubal is an AL Cy Young finalist, and the Padres will be down one starting pitcher as Yu Darvish is slated to miss all of the 2026 season.
Let’s get right into it.
This is another obvious fit due to his history with Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. Detroit had Colt Keith, Andy Ibáñez, and Zach McKinstry playing third base this year, so Bregman would be a significant upgrade. Gleyber Torres might be back in free agency, but if he’s not, the Tigers will need to reshuffle their infield and add to it. Bregman has had decent results at Comerica Park during his career. He has a slash line of .242/.309/.475 with six home runs and 18 RBIs in 24 games. That works out to a wRC+ of 112.
