This was discussed elsewhere, the offer is when the Tigers tried to buy out a couple of arbitration years last year. Yes it was lowball yes it was stupid as Boras won’t let a Skubal type talent buy out arby years or resign for anything less than an outrageous number.
All about FA for Skubal/Boras. Tigers want him they know what they have to offer him to get it done.
Article in one of the local papers said it wouldn’t be a shock for him to accept Detroit’s offer. Due to his slow second halves and the injury this season he could rebuild with one more year in Detroit and he really liked playing for Detroit as well.
I think the thing this team needs than anything else is an alpha in the clubhouse, Bregman would be perfect for that role. This team is so damn young and are missing that veteran established player to lead them. My opinion anyways.
Some of these guys could become that but there is no one in that clubhouse from the position side who fits the bill.
It’s tricky cause Bregman aint young. He wants to win now I think. Has won his whole career, never really been on a bad team. But also wants his big final pay day.
He will be 32 before the season starts next year.
Often when the decline begins. How will he age is the question. Missed 50 games last year
