12/31/24 | Proposed Red Sox trade could land slugger first baseman for four years. The Boston Red Sox are still on the lookout for a right-handed hitter, and there's a risky option if all else fails. What's proposed is the Sox would trade for Detroit Tigers first baseman and slugger Spencer Torkelson. A former number one pick, Torkelson struggled in 2024. The year before, Torkelson played much better, hitting .233 with 34 doubles and 31 homers. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox... |

12/01/24 | 4 Top Free Agent First Base Targets for Detroit Tigers This Offseason. The Detroit Tigers are not far off from being a legitimate American League contender coming off one of the most incredible runs in the history of the franchise. Sitting 9.5 games out of a playoff spot in late August, the Tigers rallied to not just make the postseason, but eliminate the Houston Astros in the Wild Card round before coming just one game short of their first ALCS appearance in a decade with a five-game loss to Cleveland in the ALDS. As Detroit looks to take the next step towards World Series contention, one of the problem areas in the lineup was first base after a mess of a campaign for former No. 1 overall selection and top prospect Spencer Torkelson. After being sent down, Torkelson's numbers improved slightly upon his return, but the team going into 2025 with him as their everyday first baseman feels unlikely.

11/18/24 | Detroit Tigers Could Be Making Mistake Moving On From Former Top Prospect Now. By all indications, the Detroit Tigers are going to be aggressive this offseason when it comes to making improvements to their roster after their unlikely postseason run this past October. One of the areas that was a big problem throughout the season was corner infield, especially first base with Spencer Torkelson struggling through the worst season of his young big league career thus far. Torkelson was sent back down to Triple-A and improved a little bit after he was called back up, but overall the consensus has been it may be time to move on from the 2020 No. 1 overall selection this offseason. Despite that, Chap Cunningham of Just Baseball thinks while going to a new team may be in the slugger's best interest, now may not be the best time for the team to move him with his value as low as possible and still having some potential to turn it around.
