The Athletic surprisingly declines to rule out Tigers in top free agent's market

Every offseason, there's always one player who stands totally apart from the rest of the free agent class. Everyone knows he'll get the biggest, longest contract of the year, and only the highest-spending teams will bother trying to court him (usually, it's not the Detroit Tigers). Last year it was Juan Soto; the year before that Shohei Ohtani; the year before that Aaron Judge, and so on. This year, it's Kyle Tucker.

Tucker is predicted to make anywhere between $350-425 million in free agency, even after a bum second half and postseason with the Cubs, and the teams who could afford to pay him that much are already circling.
