The Tigers signed former New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle on Wednesday, but President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris says they aren't done looking.
The Detroit Tigers are still seen as a likely landing spot for the top remaining starting pitcher left in free agency.

The Detroit Tigers reportedly have competition from the Houston Astros, Alex Bregman's former team, in the pursuit for the free agent third baseman.
By helping the Astros unload the contract, the Tigers might have hurt their own chances to sign third baseman Alex Bregman, the top free-agent hitter still on the market.

But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.
