The Detroit Tigers are reportedly pushing hard for a talented free agent this offseason.

Per the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold, the Tigers are "all-in" on third baseman Alex Bregman. Petzold noted that both sides are engaged in conversations "but there has been a gap in value as Bregman's market narrows."

While it's unclear what the Tigers have offered Bregman and what he's searching for from them, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reported earlier in December that Bregman turned down the Houston Astros' offer of roughly $156 million over six years.

The Astros ended up acquiring prospect Cam Smith and Isaac Paredes, who can both play third base, in the Kyle Tucker trade—potentially closing the door on re-signing Bregman.

Amid the Tigers' interest in the two-time All-Star, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported that the Boston Red Sox are also eyeing Bregman.

The longtime Astros star slashed .260/.315/.453 with 26 home runs and 75 RBI in 145 games last year. It was the most homers for him since 2019 when he totaled a career-high 41. If he can bring that kind of offensive production with him to a new team, he'll be well worth whatever price tag he comes with.

The Tigers reached the playoffs for the first time since 2014 last season, taking down Bregman's Astros in the wild-card series to advance to the American League Division Series, where they fell to the Cleveland Guardians in five games.

The young roster turned heads as it went 86-76 to sneak into the postseason, and adding a proven veteran like Bregman, a two-time World Series winner, could help them get to the next level.

First, the Tigers will have to attempt to close the financial gap between Bregman and themselves.
