With spring camp just around the corner, the Toronto Blue Jays are aiming for a last-minute recruitment.
"Toronto has offered Pete Alonso a three-year contract and Alex Bregman a six-year contract," MLB Insider Hector Gomez said on social media on the 1st (Korea time). "There is a possibility that one of them will be hired."메이저놀이터
Citing Gomez's news, the U.S. Sports Illustrated (SI) said, "We have recently heard about Bregman's offer, but this is the first time Alonso has received an official offer from Toronto."
Both players have yet to find a suitable destination in the free agent market. The "Polar Bear" Alonso recently rejected the New York Mets' offer of 68 million U.S. dollars to 70 million dollars for three years. "We made an important offer to Alonso. He deserves to explore the market. Personally, however, he is tired of talks and negotiations. It's really tough. It's worse than Soto." Bregman, the biggest fish in the free agent at third base, rejected Houston's offer of 156 million dollars for six years.
The Toronto Blue Jays constantly tried to recruit big names, but failed every time. They missed Juan Soto (Metz), Teoscar Hernandez, Sasaki Rocky (Los Angeles Dodgers), Corbin Burns (Arizona Diamondbacks), and Max Fried (New York Yankees).
His efforts have paid off recently. He signed a five-year, 92.5 million-dollar contract with slugger Anthony Santander and signed a three-year, 33 million-dollar contract with big-time bullpen Jeff Hoffman. In a trade, he also acquired infielder Andres Jimenez. He also brought in Max Scherzer for 15.5 million dollars per year.
In addition, he is seeking to sign an extension contract with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. after the 2025 season. Based on local reports, the Toronto Blue Jays and Guerrero Jr. are expected to sign a contract between 450 million and 550 million U.S. dollars.
Alonso is a slugger and first baseman who hit 226 home runs. He was named the Rookie of the Year in 2019 and was named the All Star four times. In 2024, he played in all 162 games and recorded 146 hits, 34 home runs, 88 RBIs and a batting average of 0.240 OPS of 0.788 .
Bregman is a third baseman who hit 191 home runs. He won two World Series titles, two All Stars titles, and one each for Gold Glove and Silver Slugger. During the 2024 season, Bregman had 151 hits, 26 homers, 75 RBIs and a batting average of 0.260 OPS of 0.768 in 145 games.
"If Toronto recruits one of them, it is expected that the team's offense power will be greatly strengthened," the SI said. Will Toronto be able to catch a big fish at the end of the offseason.
