Pete Alonso Pursuit of a Contract/Blue Jays Rumors

As of January 23, 2025, discussions between free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso and the Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly advancing, though no agreement has been finalized.
Alonso, 30, became a free agent after declining a three-year contract offer from the New York Mets worth between $68 and $70 million.
The Mets have since shifted their focus to other roster needs, such as bolstering their bullpen.
The Blue Jays have been active this offseason, recently signing outfielder Anthony Santander to a five-year, $90 million deal.
Adding Alonso would further strengthen their lineup, potentially pairing him with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
However, some reports suggest that talks between Alonso and the Blue Jays are not gaining significant momentum at this time.
Given the fluid nature of free-agent negotiations, it's advisable to monitor official announcements from the teams involved for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
