The American League Cy Young Award winner had something to say about the ongoing Tigers-Bregman saga at the 100th annual Baseball Writers Association of America awards dinner in New York.

The Detroit Tigers have spent the offseason pursuing third baseman Alex Bregman. Will they sign him? One expert predicts yes.

Is a veteran reliever the key to the still gummed-up market for free-agent infielders? That may be the case, peculiar as it sounds. Let us explain. The Chicago Cubs have reportedly agreed to acquire high-leverage bullpenner Ryan Pressly from the Houston Astros in exchange for right-hander Juan Bello.

Tarik Skubal said, in no uncertain terms, that he thinks a union this offseason between the Tigers and Alex Bregman would be a great idea.

The reliever market is moving fast, but the Alex Bregman market remains slow-moving with no signs of picking up speed.

The Detroit Tigers reportedly haven't made headway on signing former Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman. Per the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold,

The trade of Ryan Pressly and Jose Altuve’s willingness to move from second base to left field has renewed hope that the Houston Astros may be able to re-sign Alex Bregman. That’s a huge change from just five weeks ago when general manager Dana Brown termed the negotiations with the free agent third baseman as “stalled” and appeared to close the door on a possible reunion.

By offloading reliever Ryan Pressly, the Astros have reopened to door for a Alex Bregman reunion. Where does this leave the Tigers?

The Chicago Cubs are finalizing a trade for Ryan Pressly, adding the right-hander to the back end of their bullpen in their second major offseason deal with the Houston Astros.

The Houston Astros reached a tentative agreement to trade Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs, clearing the way for Alex Bregman to return to the Astros.

The Detroit Tigers are interested in adding this free-agent All-Star slugger and Detroit's ace hopes the feeling is mutual.
