Tigers Trade Englert, Faedo; Eye Arenado

The Detroit Tigers faced a setback when Alex Bregman opted for a lucrative deal with the Boston Red Sox, despite Detroit's competitive offer, prompting the Tigers to consider pursuing veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Tigers bolstered their pitching staff by signing veteran John Brebbia to a one-year deal, reinforcing their bullpen alongside other relievers. In roster changes, the Tigers traded pitchers Mason Englert and Alex Faedo to the Tampa Bay Rays, acquiring left-hander Drew Sommers in return. Englert, previously acquired in the Rule 5 Draft, had a challenging stint with the Tigers but showed promise in Triple-A. Former Tigers pitcher Tyler Alexander has signed with the Milwaukee Brewers, marking his second team switch since leaving Detroit.
