Despite the deep pockets of owner Steve Cohen, the New York Mets have all but accepted that longtime first baseman Pete Alonso will sign with another team this winter.
Pete Alonso and the Mets appear to be splitting up and the Blue Jays have a Vladimir Guerrero Jr plan if they land the first baseman.
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.
The Toronto Blue Jays are running out of time to boost the lineup around Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but the star infielder is removing all excuses for Ross Atkins.
In a recent YouTube video, content creator Jim Riley of BALLCAP sports predicted that the Blue Jays would sign Alonso, creating a first base-designated hitter timeshare with Guerrero for the 2025 season.
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?
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.
According to Scott Mitchell of TSN Sports, free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso is still "in play" for the Toronto Blue Jays. Earlier on Monday, the Blue Jays signed outfielder Anthony Santander to a five-year deal worth $92.
After another offseason full of misses, Ross Atkins finally got a star player to commit to the Toronto Blue Jays, inking Anthony Santander on a five-year deal.
