Detroit Tigers target Ha-Seong Kim as trade rumors heat up at the Winter Meetings—could Kim’s versatile infield defense and base-stealing speed reshape their lineup more than a blockbuster move for Alex Bregman? Scott Bentley examines the Tigers’ interest in Kim, exploring his injury comeback, defensive prowess, and the pros and cons of prioritizing value over splashy contracts. The debate intensifies: should Detroit chase star power or make calculated, cost-effective roster upgrades?

Scott Bentley also highlights Riley Greene’s WBC ambitions, Gabe Ribas’s departure impacting the Tigers’ pitching development, and breaks down the latest MLB Draft Lottery positioning. Key updates include Tarek Skubal extension talks, rumors of a potential Dodgers trade, and major moves across the league such as Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers and Kyle Schwarber’s return to the Phillies. How will these developments affect Detroit’s playoff aspirations and future roster strategy?
