What are the Tigers' options at third base? | Tiger Territory

[@joemay751]

Great point about the Bellinger trade. Really makes our off season thus far that much more annoying.

[@Isaac-qe2in]

Atlanta Braves with a power ranking inside the top5?🤔 I don't think so... still plenty of question marks in their starting rotation. And incidentally, the Tigers signing Alex Bregman would not net the team a (+5)WAR. The 2024 version of Vierling only netted (-1.5)WAR relative to Bregman's season.

Navigato can play 3rd base hit 21 homeruns last year

Jung needs a revolution in his hitting mechanics-if he doesnt hit well hes useless. He needs to lose the backyard wiffle ball mechanics and get real. He hit a certain way in the minors against 88 now its facing 98- problem. And even in the minors at AAA level didnt exactly tear it up. One game in Toledo I went to he struck out 5 times in 5 at bats because a guy was in there throwing 103 and Jung looked like a guy off the streets trying out for baseball -he got intoduced to a clock- and changed nothing.

Like WTF does Harris do all day? Is he ever pro active? Does he have any creativity at all??

[@gestalt1337]

If you need some filler content. Maybe you can recommend tigers games that are full on youtube, Or even documentaries about the tigers in general.

For me it's Bregman or bust at this point. Ha Seong Kim and Alex Cobb do absolutely nothing to move the needle forward.

[@Isaac-qe2in]

Why.. so the Tigers can have an over-priced brand name, on the decline, well past his prime much like the Blue Jays with George Springer, or Twins with Carlos Correa?

[@KnightOwl-kn6gm]

Nope. The Tigers would be getting a gold glove third baseman that is clutch as hell with the bat in the post season. Winning isn't cheap, and good teams aren't afraid to take a calculated risk here and there.

Austin Hays or bust

Bregman is a Boras client I don't want him

[@justified1free2]

Jung is a 2nd baseman not a 3rd baseman. Malloy and Keith would be good at 1st base.Torkelson should be traded

[@Dunf74]

I'm curious why everyone assumes malloy and keith will be good at 1st, tork has been playing there for over 4 years and isn't good Why do we think 2 guys who have never played there before will somehow be better? I mean, I hope they are but this is why I wish they would've signed Christian Walker, 1st base is clearly an issue, defensively and offensively Tigers have indicated 1st base is an issue Tigers have indicated they need a RH power bat A 3x gold glover with pop is on the market but they show zero interest and he signs for 3 yrs $60M Easily affordable contract and would blend in nicely when Briceno is ready for his MLB debut Tork hasn't gotten better defensively and outside of the 2nd half of 2023, he's never shown any consistency at the plate, at least not the good kind

[@Isaac-qe2in]

I'm glad that you're not the prez of baseball operations... trading a player when his value is at an all time low.. really!? What do you expect to get for Tork at this stage besides a couple bags of roasted peanuts?
