USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Friday that Boston isn't out of the Alex Bregman sweepstakes quite yet. Read more on Boston.com.

The Detroit Tigers don't seem any closer to getting something worked out with Alex Bregman at this point in time.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the All-Star third baseman hasn't had any new movement with the incumbent Houston Astros.

It makes sense that fans would pin most of the blame on the front office. It's not hard to reach a logical conclusion that the Tigers would be trying to talk Bregman down from his asking price at seven years and $200 million, which could lead to standstill.

An Alex Bregman return to the Houston Astros, with whom he's spent his entire professional career to date, is back within the range of possibilities for the free-agent infielder. That's especially the case now that Jose Altuve is reportedly willing to relocate to the outfield to make room for Bregman in a Houston infield that now includes Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker.

The Detroit Tigers reportedly have competition from the Houston Astros, Alex Bregman's former team, in the pursuit for the free agent third baseman.

The Tigers are staring at an enormous opportunity and shouldn’t blink. They’ve waited patiently, prudently, and now is the time to act.

The Detroit Tigers have spent the offseason pursuing third baseman Alex Bregman. Will they sign him? One expert predicts yes.

The reliever market is moving fast, but the Alex Bregman market remains slow-moving with no signs of picking up speed.

The Detroit Tigers have been part of the Alex Bregman sweepstakes, but another contender may have stepped aside.

The Houston Astros appear content to let Alex Bregman slip away from them in MLB free agency, which could backfire in the worst of ways.
