I’m glad he didn’t sign in Detroit. That offer was too big for the Tigers. His swing profile doesn’t suit the park. It would have been a bad fit. Still, I don’t want to hear about how it was great they tried. Your job this off-season was to find an impactful RH bat. If that becomes Torres in a walk year that is great. However, as we sit here in February nobody believes that was the impact bat. Neither does the club or they wouldn’t have offered Bregman that sort of deal. Really glad baseball is back. I’m happy that they bolstered the rotation and bullpen but you had options for a hitter and it was Bregman or bust. I get the park plays into it. Hitters do not want to sign here in cases because of it. So you need to trade to find your power. Then do it.
