Negotiations between free-agent slugger Pete Alonso and the Toronto Blue Jays are "advancing," according to SNY's Andy Martino. Martino noted that

Pete Alonso and the Toronto Blue Jays have been linked since the New York Mets appeared to move on from their homegrown talent.

The Blue Jays have whiffed on many top free agents such as Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and Corbin Burnes. They finally cashed in when they lured Santander to town. Getting Alonso to sign on the dotted line would prove that Toronto is serious about competing in 2025.
