USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported that the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers have emerged as “co-favorites” to sign Bregman. He added that there had been

Tommy agreed to a one-year deal worth $7.75 million with the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported. The right-handed veteran reliever provides more late-inning options for Detroit which helped it make an exciting run in last year’s postseason.

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly nearing a deal with a Detroit Tigers free agency target from earlier this offseason.

It's the end of January, and Alex Bregman remains unsigned, leaving the door open for the Boston Red Sox to sign the free agent.

The Boston Red Sox have a bunch of talented players at the major-league level who can help them make a run at the postseason in 2025, but their group of prospects is what has people the most excited about the club's future.

The Detroit Tigers are the only team in baseball with three top 10 prospects on ESPN's top-100 list, as compiled by draft expert Kiley McDaniel.

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.

Only the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox have two prospects within the top 10, though the Red Sox stand out with three players within the top 12.

The Boston Red Sox could stand to add to their bullpen, and lost out on not one but two potential targets in the same day.
