Detroit Tigers Explore Free Agency Options

As MLB free agency begins, the New York Mets' designated hitter J.D. Martinez is speculated to be a fit for the San Francisco Giants, despite his recent decline in performance. The Detroit Tigers, following a surprising second-half run to the playoffs, are looking to strengthen their roster by potentially reuniting with former pitcher Max Scherzer and considering Jack Flaherty, who had a successful season after being traded from Detroit to the Dodgers. Additionally, the Tigers are eyeing a trade for catcher Willson Contreras from the Cardinals, who offers an offensive upgrade but has faced health issues recently. The Tigers also require more power in their lineup and are looking at options like Ryan Mountcastle of the Orioles as a potential trade target. With their shift from sellers to buyers, Detroit aims to enhance their competitiveness for the upcoming season.
