Detroit Tigers consider Alec Bohm for infield strengthening efforts
Summary

The Detroit Tigers are exploring options to improve their infield for the 2027 season, with former Philadelphia Phillies All-Star Alec Bohm emerging as a potential target in free agency. Bohm, who recently finished the 2026 season with a.249 batting average and 15 home runs, has experience at first and third base, making him a versatile option. The Tigers face decisions on their infield composition, especially following Gleyber Torres' departure to free agency, which opens up additional roles. There is no confirmation that the Tigers have initiated contact with Bohm's representatives, but his solid offensive numbers make him an intriguing candidate. However, Bohm's recent performance and the Tigers' commitment to developing younger talent could complicate any potential signing.
