Jeff Passan of ESPN said on Wednesday that he cannot believe the New York Yankees are not pursuing free agent Alex Bregman, given the team's infield needs.

The Detroit Tigers have added another big arm to their bullpen in Tommy Kahnle, who is very familiar with Gleyber Torres. But could that be bad news for their chances at signing Alex Bregman?

A lot of the big names on the free agent market in the MLB this offseason have already been scooped up, but there are still a few true difference-makers out there. One of those star free agents that are still available is former Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman,

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.

There are still plenty of free agents waiting to sign and trade candidates waiting to move, and as such there will be no shortage of activity between now and the start of camp. Speaking of all that, here now are Friday's hot stove rumors.
