Third Base Market, Rule 5 Draft, Bregman, Fetter, & More!

[@TheValleyRobots-xs3vi]

Okay, so if we don't get Bregman, or anyone else, is this the plan in a couple of years: 1B Josue Briceno 2B Colt Keith SS Bryce Rainer 3B Kevin McGonigle (a stretch, I know) C Dingler/Liranzo LF Riley Greene CF Parker Meadows RF Max Clark DH Kerry Carpenter SP Tarik Skubal SP Jackson Jobe SP Reese Olson SP Sawyer Gibson-Long SP Jaden Hamm A guy can dream, right?

[@charlesmuenger8737]

Skubal won't be in Detroit past 2026.

[@Rover48]

Scott, It's a pleasure to hear you think out loud about the FA fantasy at 3B!

[@jay-ss4sp]

The winter meetings have been very sobering for a Tigers fan.

[@GeraldBacon-si5mx]

Bregman's not worth $200 million,he got helped with hrs with short porch in lf in Houston just like Altuve.

[@eddie-nk4jk]

his career is downward, not worth 100 mllion

[@paulwetter3262]

Not a surprise the Tigers are "just looking" during the winter meetings. Project signing with Cobb for a flip later on. You would think a club that nearly went to ALCS last year would feel a tremor of urgency. Something more than quickly signing McKinstry for another campaign.

[@stevencook4002]

No emergency needed with how young the roster is. Everyone wants the Tigers to spend money and then whine when these guys get paid way past contributing much…see Miguel Cabrera.

[@peachjwp]

The time to have acquired a 3rd baseman was last year…Matt Chapman 3 yrs $58 million. Tigers preferred to sit on their hands. They might as well wait for trading deadline to see who might be for sale. They are not going to outbid anyone. This sport screams salary cap.

[@kendricksmallegan1656]

Montgomery going back to the White Sox too, I really do think this is a Sale trade 2.0 with the prospect pool going back

[@jonathangushen7000]

Workman could have been an option at third base. I hope they don’t overpay for Bregman.

[@eddie-nk4jk]

workman strikes out too much but is improving

[@thomasdonner2495]

IM PRAYING 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 - Tork - I BELIEVE HE CAN GET THERE AS SHOWN BELOW IF HE WOULD JUST HIT THE BALL WHERE ITS PITCHED!!! STOP TRYING TO PULL! WHERE EVER THE BALL IS HIT IT THAT WAY!! - Can get to .280 / 20-25hr / 85-100RBI - For this Team these numbers WOULD BE HUGE!! He’ll even .260 / 20 / 75

[@jeffjohnson8842]

Im kinda shocked Navigato and Montalvo didnt get drafted

[@justified1free2]

Glad we could keep Navigato

[@virgilgreen3108]

It's BIG regarding Chris Fetter. BIG! All baseball fans everywhere are taking note of it. Even likely in Japan. Now we will get SAZAKI! 🤩🤩🤩💫💫💫💯 Bregman to Detroit. Illitch and Harris are deciding to go full bore. Backup plan should target Bohm. Tigers on the verfe of getting Paul Goldschmidt!!! Cobb is a groundball pitcher. Works well for us. Rocky Colavito not only hit 3 homers in a game, he did it more than once. He actually hit 4 in a game! RIP & Future pick by old timers committee for Baseball's Hall Of Fame. 🙋 Bye Rocky

[@justified1free2]

Glad they kept Navigato

[@detroitdiesel89]

If we don't get a big bat, please boo illitch whenever he's seen publicly

[@eddie-nk4jk]

Workman strikes out alot which is the kiss of death because if they K alot in minors what are they going to do in majors. Tho the key is the Cubs may improve Workmans hitting and I say they will due to Tigers subpar hitting development.

[@mkuhlman77]

I'd like to see a LH 1B . Call me weird. I think we'll be fine as long as starters stay healthy and out bats get up to league average. They did great with very low points per game. I do believe goal is 5 not 3 😆.

[@garethridings5338]

The Tigers won't be going after any of the 3rd Baseman on this list and will go after a more cost effective one hopefully a Right handed one as for starting pitching it will happen after Christmas.

[@Jp-pd6pv]

Tigers are "Just Looking". Fans wanted them to step up and make a move that would get us a middle of the lineup bat. They get another "Rental" pitcher. They are the New Version of the Tampa Bay Rays. Cheap Cheap Cheap.... Oh I did forget The Biggest move of the off season was Mr Versatile Jack McKinstry What a Joke

[@damianlang5654]

Tigers will have that albatross of a $25M annual contract with Javier Baez for 3 more years...since he is only halfway through it. What a terribad signing that he has turned out to be!! Don't see Chrissy shelling out for another high-priced FA infielder until after he leaves.

[@SquareLimit]

Why not? it’s our only big contract, we are like 28th in payroll and made a ton of money last year. If they don’t extend players or sign free agents this offseason it will be very telling of our future as tigers fans look like.. we might just be the next Oakland.

[@LambertScalvin]

I know someone that worked for the tigers and Chris illich for years. They said he has absolutely no interest in the tigers whatsoever

[@SquareLimit]

that makes me sad.. they made a lot of money this year so hopefully he’s at least a good businessmen and invests in the team since they showed something this year.

[@justified1free2]

Should have got Burger

[@johnsonfamilyfarm5672]

Let’s get bregman

[@thomasdonner2495]

Bregman - SEE YA!!! No way $200,000,000!! - ABSOLUTELY NO

[@justified1free2]

No to Bergman too much money.

[@GeraldBacon-si5mx]

You can't say Al Avila sucked in regular draft.lot of the good players this past season were drafted by him.His trade record and free agents were mostly awful but he did really good in draft.i'm not saying i wanted to keep Avila but he's an easy guy to kick around.

[@Wreckingcrew-jc5in]

Al Avila is living proof that any damn fool can become a MLB general manager,

[@GeraldBacon-si5mx]

@@Wreckingcrew-jc5in If Avila was a fool one of the best head guys in mlb Dave Dombrowski wouldn't of had him in Miami with him then brought him to Detroit when Tigers hired Dave.There's a lot of blame to go around for why the Tigers sucked for so many years for some reason Al Avila took all the blame.Even though 95% of the players who got Tigers to post season this year were aquired while Avila was in charge he still gets absolutely zero credit.People were still bitching when he drafted high school pitcher Jackson Jobe.Avila was also the one who hired AJ Hinch.Haters just love to hate no matter what.

[@jay-ss4sp]

I get not spending 200 million but we are going to do nothing. After last year you have surging fan base that you are going to lose by June. Sign someone and lock up Skubal. Give the fans a reason to show up at the ballpark or sell the team.

[@mkuhlman77]

The fans are always there. They just may not go to the ballpark. Calm down Ken. Butts in seats don't pay the bills TV contracts and advertisement does.

[@damianlang5654]

​@@mkuhlman77Ilitch has a partnership with the MGM sportsbook and no longer needs to fill CoPa seats to rake in profits.

[@tedwitus]

"Rule 5-eligible players ..selected in the MLB portion must stick..for the entire 2025 season or else be offered back to their original organizations."... Gage Workman might turn that trick and stick w/ the Cubs. Tork's teammate at ASU might be ultimately be more talented than his 1/1 teammate

[@justified1free2]

Strikes out too much

[@Ray-w7k]

Aeranato is not the answer for 3rd base. Bregman is looking for too much money and he may become Baez all over again.What happened with the talk of Walker for 1st base? Santander, forget it; it will never happen. Ray

[@jnahikian]

Get Bregman. The Pudge comparison is spot on.

[@eddie-nk4jk]

pudge was an elite hof catcher

[@eddie-nk4jk]

Bregman is not worth the money. I liked signing Chapman last year as hes a better player for less money but Bregman is on a downward trajectory, also he has non-momentum hitting mechanics which players hit a wall with simil;ar to Arenado

[@Ray-w7k]

Of course this team stayed quiet. Let's not kid ourselves Scottie. I do not expect anything meaningful from this pathetic ownership & management. I will continue to follow this team because I have been a fan since the 1950s, but I won't watch them or take their lumps seriously. Maybe Illitch will sell the team. Hope springs eternal. Thank you Scottie. Ray

[@eddie-nk4jk]

Mcgonigle could play 3rd base. Contrary to dumb dumb Pat Caputo- if a player can play 3nd they can play 3rd easily. Caputo is trying to tell people Jung can play 2nd but cant play 3rd- absurd.

[@bralendennis]

TIGERS PLEEEEEASE LAND BREGMAN!!!!

[@justified1free2]

No Bregman

[@bralendennis]

@justified1free2 YES BREGMAN

[@KnightOwl-kn6gm]

We want Bregman!

[@benjaminbrewer7614]

Scotty, stop with the talk about any significant players, we all know this cheap-ass organization is not going to do the right thing for this team. " Baby" Illich has totally destroyed two teams in Detroit but has made zillions doing it.

[@johnpreston6993]

Can you stop whining about Illitch. We heard you the first 20 times. Get a new team.
