The Detroit Tigers headed into the offseason on the heels of getting as close as they've been to real contention in a very long time. Coming within a game of their first ALCS appearance in a decade, the Tigers demonstrated they have a young core who's ready to take the next step if they can be supplemented by some outside talent.

The Boston Red Sox reportedly are a top contender for free agent Alex Bregman, but they have competition in an AL rival.

Detroit Tigers target Alex Bregman remains available with less than 45 days until a key spring training date: The first full-squad workout is Feb. 17.

The Boston Red Sox have yet to make a huge move that will shock everyone this offseason. MLB free agent rumors continue to swirl around multiple players, and teams like Boston are linked to top sluggers.
