It’s been reported multiple times that the Detroit Tigers could be in the market for some of the top players this winter. 

It remains uncertain whether the front office and ownership will do what’s necessary to ensure the Tigers have the future they appear to have. Still, there’s reason to believe that if ownership is willing to spend, the Tigers can be just as good as any team in baseball moving forward.

Doing so would also signal to Tarik Skubal that they want to win at the highest level, which should ultimately help them keep him in town when the time comes. 

As for what they can do to ensure the future is brighter than some think, signing Alex Bregman would be at the top of the list.

Andrew Tredinnick of NJ.com believes that’s what will happen, predicting Bregman will take a deal partly due to Skubal being in his final year with the team, at least under contract.

“With one more year of Tarik Skubal to make a splash, A.J. Hinch gets a familiar weapon for his lineup,” he wrote.

Looking at what the Tigers need this winter, it’s evident that a right-handed bat is at the top of that list. 

If the Tigers are serious about winning at the highest level, they’ll have to spend the necessary funds to land a bat of Bregman’s caliber. 

Bregman is coming off a very good season, although the injury is something to factor in.
