The Detroit Tigers have made a few frugal signings this offseason, handing out one-year deals to Gleyber Torres, Alex Cobb and Tommy Kahnle. However, they have yet to make that big splash to put themselves above the rest of the pack in the American League Central.

The Detroit Tigers have added another big arm to their bullpen in Tommy Kahnle, who is very familiar with Gleyber Torres. But could that be bad news for their chances at signing Alex Bregman?
