They didn't "fail". It sounds like they made a good offer and he signed elsewhere. I do not believe it was true that the Tigers had no chance to sign him. I think if they went high enough like 7 years, he would have signed with them. But Harris had his limit and wouldn't go any higher. There is nothing wrong with that. If Bregman has a good year, I think he'll opt out and end up making more total money than the Tigers or Astros offered.
