MLB Insider Hector Gomez reports that the Toronto Blue Jays have a six-year off on the table for Alex Bregman and a three-year off for Pete Alonso. MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today also appeared on Area 45 with Bijani and Creighton and suggested the Blue Jays have a six-year offer out to Bregman.
We had recently heard about the Bregman offer, and we have heard Alonso speculated to Toronto several times this offseason, but news of an official offer is new.
30-year-old Bregman has spent the entirety of his nine-year career with the Astros. Lifetime, he's a .272 hitter with a .366 on-base percentage.
He hit 26 homers and drove in 75 runs last year while playing in 145 games. Bregman is a two-time World Series champion, having helped Houston win the title in 2017 and 2022.
He reportedly also has a standing six-year offer from the incumbent Astros.
30-year-old Alonso is one of the most popular and productive Mets players in recent memory, having hit 226 regular season home runs since entering the league in 2019, which puts him second only to Aaron Judge for that span.
He is a Rookie of the Year (2019), a four-time All-Star and a two-time Home Run Derby champion as well.
Alonso is coming off a year in which he hit .240 with a .329 on-base percentage. He hit 34 homers and drove in 88 runs.
But despite that huge power, he has lingered unsigned in free agency as spring training is just over the horizon.
If Alonso is ultimately brought north of the border alongside Santander, the two would make for fairly similar additions.
Both players have power as their clear best trait, with their other contributions a bit more muted.
Keep your fingers cross Blue Jays fans, if Toronto can land either one of these guys we are good to go in 2025!
