With the MLB offseason entering its final stretch, the intrigue around first baseman Pete Alonso's free agency remains.
With his free agency looming in less than nine months, the Blue Jays first baseman is generating discussion on a number of fronts.
A new MLB rumor reveals avenues for the New York Mets to either trade for Vlad Guerrero or surprisingly re-sign Pete Alonso this month.
The Toronto Blue Jays have taken a lot of heat over the course of this offseason for failing to make a big move. Toronto missed out on big targets such as Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott. Despite striking out on most of the top pitchers this offseason, the Blue Jays turned their attention to the other side and made a big splash.
After news broke that the Mets were pivoting away from Pete Alonso, the Blue Jays have emerged as contenders to sign the free agent slugger.
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are still talking about Pete Alonso, but also about the actual addition of A.J. Minter and the re-addition of Jesse Winker.
The addition of Santander, who hit 44 home runs with the Baltimore Orioles last season, follows the deep-pocketed Jays’ failed pursuits of Shohei Ohtani last offseason and of Juan Soto, Corbin Burnes and Roki Sasaki this winter.
The Toronto Blue Jays have finally signed a marquee free agent after continuously striking out this winter. They could make another splash after seemingly waiting until the last minute to kick off the offseason.
The New York Mets still need to fill a hole at first base. If they won't do it by signing Pete Alonso, could veteran Anthony Rizzo be a realistic pivot?
Free agent outfielder Anthony Santander has signed with the Toronto Blue Jays, reports MLB Network's Jon Paul Morosi. Terms of the contract, pending a physical, have not yet been announced. Anthony Santander and Blue Jays are in agreement pending physical, sources say. @MLBNetwork
