The Detroit Tigers weren't interested in Alex Bregman this offseason. Fans are well aware of that, just as they're aware that Scott Harris reportedly ticked off Bregman during negotiations last offseason.
Bregman and Scott Boras didn't exactly please the Tigers and their fanbase last winter, either. And now that Bregman is officially a Chicago Cub, he's cemented his status as a villainous figure in Detroit who flirted heavily with the Tigers but never loved them. The Bregman ship unofficially sailed a long time ago, even if it's only recently official. This makes a new report from Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold feel oddly out of touch.
