MLB.com had this to say about the Tigers chances of landing Arenado:
"The leap the Tigers made in 2024, thanks largely to their blistering-hot September, has upped the ante in Detroit, and they’re ready to start adding some experience to a still-young roster. Is Arenado that veteran piece who could help them take the next step? The Tigers have some decisions to make on young infielders Spencer Torkelson and Jace Jung -- where they play, or how much they stick with them -- and if they get impatient, or just want to show that they’re serious by bringing in a player of Arenado’s caliber and reputation, this could make some sense (especially given the need for a righty bat). The question here is whether the Tigers are quite ready to take on the risk of what Arenado looks like in three years, and how that fits with their roster’s age."
