The New Year is quickly approaching, and with Alex Bregman still on the free-agent market, many are left wondering when Scott Boras will try to drag the Detroit Tigers into the mess that he created. It's a circus the Tigers know all too well, having been the side act last February, and it could be one they are hoping to avoid.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale seemed to be doing Boras' work last week, suggesting that the Tigers remain among the teams interested in the All-Star third baseman. As Nightengale has lazily done in the past, he seems to be doing his own math — based on last offseason's interest and the fact the Tigers still need a third baseman.
