Breaking news:His coming back to mets next…
For most of the offseason, Pete Alonso’s free agency has felt like a slow burn. The Mets have been patient, waiting for his market to materialize, but now, two teams are reportedly making a real push to lure him away from New York. According to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, “There is no question who the most aggressive teams right now for Alonso and Bregman are, and it’s the #BlueJays and #Cubs, which could dampen the two from returning to their former teams.”
That’s a stark shift from recent weeks when it seemed Alonso’s market had cooled, allowing the Mets to hold firm in negotiations. Now, with two legitimate contenders vying for his services, the team may have to rethink its approach.
Blue Jays and Cubs Making a Push
The Blue Jays have been on the hunt for a power bat all offseason after losing out on Juan Soto. They landed Anthony Santander but could use more offensive firepower. Alonso would be a natural fit in Toronto, adding a right-handed slugger to a lineup that needs more thump.
