The Detroit Tigers are still pursuing their dream free agent target as the offseason rages on and pitchers and catchers are just weeks away from reporting to spring training. Every day that passes with Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman unsigned is likely good news for the Tigers since most teams already have their cards on the table.
