The Detroit Tigers are looking to build on their surprising 2024 postseason run, and they’re targeting a big-name free agent to help them do it. Specifically, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post , the Tigers have expressed interest in third baseman Alex Bregman , a key figure in the Houston Astros’ recent success. Notably, the Tigers’ pursuit of Bregman is intriguing, given the presence of A.J. Hinch , Bregman’s former manager in Houston, now at the helm in Detroit. Furthermore, the Tigers’ relatively clean slate of salary commitments empowers them to make a splash in free agency. Tigers Targeting Big-Name Addition in Alex Bregman Unsurprisingly, the Tigers are not the only suitor for Bregman’s services . Houston already extended an offer and made it clear that re-signing him is their top offseason priority. Other teams are also in the mix, with the Boston Red Sox reportedly inquiring about Bregman’s availability. A potential signing would likely involve shifting Rafael Devers to first base, a move that may have been on the horizon anyway. The Tigers are poised to be major players in free agency, seeking both pitching and positional upgrades. Their surprising 2024 postseason run, which eliminated the Astros, has set the stage for an aggressive offseason. Adding a prolific hitter like Bregman would be a significant boost to their lineup, providing a much-needed power bat in the middle of the order. Bregman’s impressive resume, which includes multiple All-Star appearances and two World Series championships, makes him an attractive target for any team looking to contend. His ability to hit for both power and average, combined with his strong defensive skills at third base, would make him an excellent fit for the Tigers. The Red Sox are pursuing top free agents aggressively, targeting Blake Snell , Max Fried , Corbin Burnes , and Bregman, among others. Their interest in Bregman is likely driven by their desire to add an impact bat to their lineup. Bregman’s versatility and production would make him an excellent addition . The Possible Favorite to Land Bregman The Astros are favored to re-sign Bregman, thanks to his strong relationships with the team. However, they face stiff competition. The Tigers and Red Sox are among the teams with interest in Bregman. Others will likely join the pursuit . As a top free agent, Bregman will be in high demand. To land Bregman, the Tigers must offer a competitive contract and sell him on Detroit as the ideal place to continue his career. The Tigers’ strong young core and aggressive approach to free agency make them an attractive destination for top free agents. The Tigers are all-in on contending, and they’re willing to make bold moves to achieve their goal. Now, they’ll need to execute and convince Bregman to join their roster.

Special counsel moves to dismiss election interference and classified documents cases against Trump
Brainiac Babies Announces Free Childcare Opportunities for Families in NeedBy Kwabia Owusu-Mensah Kumasi, Dec. 24, GNA – The New Patriotic Party (NPP) members have been urged not to let the recent electoral defeat demoralise them but continue to work harder to help rebuild the party. They should reflect, refocus and rebuild to make the party stronger. Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, former NPP Chairman for Afigya Kwabre South constituency, who made the call, said it was important for the party members to trust that God was at work and weaving their aspirations into His plans. “As one political party, we must trust that God is at work, weaving our aspirations into his plans; a future we may not yet see but filled with grace, hope and purpose”, he told the party members in an interview with the Ghana News Agency. Odeneho Kwaku Appiah pointed out that NPP was a strong formidable party, which was capable of coming out from the defeat, rebuilding itself and standing up stronger to face new challenges ahead. He said though the defeat was unexpected, it reflected the plans God might have for the party and urged members not to despair but use the Christmas festivities to reflect on their actions, refocus and identify how they could work together to rebuild the party to become stronger, going into the 2028 general elections. GNAWhen you splurge on a luxurious beef tenderloin for the holidays, consider reverse searing as the cooking method. Reverse searing is a foolproof way to respect the integrity of a rich and tender cut of lean meat. While the term may sound intimidating, it’s a straightforward technique that ensures a luscious, evenly pink interior and a browned outer crust. Reverse searing requires a long, slow cook for the meat to reach temperature, followed by a hot sear to finish and brown the exterior. The technique is simple; all you need is a meat thermometer to rely on to gauge doneness. For extra ease, you can have your butcher truss the meat for an even cook. To truss the meat yourself, trim the tenderloin of any fat and silver skin. Fold the narrow end under the filet for even presentation and truss with kitchen string in 1-inch intervals. Begin the night before cooking: Evenly salt the meat. Then refrigerate it overnight, uncovered, to air-dry. The overnight rest allows the salt to penetrate the meat, and air-drying ensures browning when cooking. Let the meat rest at room temperature one hour before roasting. Finish with a sauce of your choice. This recipe includes a rich port wine sauce, worthy of a special meal. Lynda Balslev is a Marin cookbook author, food and travel writer and recipe developer. Reverse Seared Beef Tenderloin With Port Wine Sauce Serves 4 to 6 Ingredients 1 center-cut beef tenderloin, 2 to 3 pounds Kosher salt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus 2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter 1 shallot, chopped, about 1/4 cup 1 large garlic clove, chopped 2 cups beef stock 1 cup ruby port wine 1 cup full-bodied red wine 2 rosemary sprigs 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Thyme sprigs Directions Evenly season the meat with the salt. Place the beef on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before roasting and let stand at room temperature. To make the sauce, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until soft without coloring, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add the beef stock, port wine, red wine and rosemary. Bring to a boil and continue to boil until the liquid is reduced to about 2 cups, about 25 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine-meshed sieve into a small saucepan, pushing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the vinegar and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until reduced to about 1 cup and slightly syrupy, about 10 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Taste for seasoning and set aside. Heat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the baking sheet with the rack and meat in the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 115 degrees, about 60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Remove the beef from the oven and rest for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the twine. Melt 2 tablespoons butter a large skillet over high heat. Add the tenderloin and thyme. Sear the meat on all sides until well browned and the temperature registers 125 degrees to 130 degrees, basting with the butter and thyme. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. While the meat is resting, gently reheat the sauce over medium-low heat. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons chilled butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until emulsified (do not boil or the sauce will break). Remove from the heat. Cut the tenderloin across the grain in thick slices. Stir any juices from the cutting board into the sauce. Serve the meat immediately with the sauce.
