Haringey has the Yankees dealing Clarke Schmidt as part of the package for the third baseman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Tigers have not expressed an ounce of public interest in dealing prized prospect Jace Jung. They have him penciled in as their starting third baseman, both in 2025 and beyond,\u201d Haringey wrote. \u201cCashman will need to blow Detroit away with an offer if they\u2019re going to bring Jung to the Bronx. The Tigers do, however, need more starting pitching. If the Yankees dangle someone like Clarke Schmidt in a potential trade for Jung, it could be enough to get Detroit\u2019s front office to the table. Jung would give the Yankees an upgrade on the diamond at a cost-controlled salary next season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth seem to be requirements for Cashman at this time. Jung is not the only young third baseman the Yankees can target in a trade,\u201d Haringey added. \u201cThere are other young options with upside that might be obtainable if New York parts with an asset of Schmidt\u2019s quality. It would be a major gamble for the Yankees but it\u2019s the kind of swing Cashman needs to take to build a World Series winner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York would likely need to deal more than Schmidt if the Yankees were going to land Jung. But, the 24-year-old would be an impact third baseman for the Yankees while the Tigers would get a controllable starter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Have Talked to Bregman<\/h2>\n<p>New York has a need at third base which is why Haringey has the Yankees acquiring Jung in a blockbuster.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has confirmed the team has spoken to Scott Boras about Alex Bregman who is the top free-agent third baseman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job is to find a way to make us as quality as we can year in and year out,\u201d Cashman said. \u201cWe\u2019ll vet every opportunity out there. He\u2019s been a thorn in our side for years, along with other people\u2019s sides. He\u2019s now into free agency. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s got a boatload of choices. Players like him make a lot of money. I have had a conversation or two with Scott Boras. I certainly respect the player and his ability and how much winning he\u2019s been a part of. But, that\u2019s as far as I\u2019ll say at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bregman is a two-time All-Star. The third baseman will be in line for a hefty contract in free agency, so if the Yankees don\u2019t have the payroll, perhaps the trade for Jung makes more sense.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tigers Sign Gleyber Torres<\/h2>\n<p>Detroit did make an addition to its infield on December 27 as the team signed second baseman Gleyber Torres to a one-year $15 million deal. Torres has spent his entire MLB career with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Torres projects to be the Tigers\u2019 starting second baseman as Colt Keith will slide to first base. Spencer Torkelson, meanwhile, will be the DH or a bench bat for Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Torres hit .257 with 15 home runs and 63 RBIs with the Yankees in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
