Blue Jays Pursue Alonso Amid Guerrero Contract Issues

The Toronto Blue Jays are actively pursuing key free agents, including Pete Alonso and Anthony Santander, as they face the potential departures of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. Guerrero's contract negotiations are reportedly at a standstill, with a $100 million gap between his demands and the Blue Jays' offer, raising the possibility of a trade or release. The Blue Jays have expressed interest in Santander, who had a career-high 44 home runs, and they are reportedly willing to offer $80 million to secure his services. Additionally, the team is considering signing Jesse Winker and Tanner Scott to bolster their lineup and bullpen. Despite missing out on several big names earlier, the Blue Jays aim to significantly enhance their roster before spring training to remain competitive in the upcoming season.
