3 free agents Tigers fans shouldn’t get their hopes up for this offseason

Motor City Bengals writer Stephen Riesen argues that Detroit Tigers fans should temper their expectations regarding top free agents ahead of the 2027 MLB season. Following Scott Harris's end-of-season comments indicating the Tigers will avoid major long-term, high-AAV contracts, the article identifies Seiya Suzuki, Adrian Morejon, and Randy Arozarena as targets unlikely to join Detroit.

Riesen notes that Suzuki and Arozarena would both be 32 years old and require costly commitments that conflict with the front office's roster philosophy. Meanwhile, the writer views a lucrative deal for reliever Morejon as redundant given team-controlled bullpen arms like Drew Sommers.
