Pete Alonso and the Mets have been unsuccessful the entire offseason in reaching a consensus on a new deal that extends the first baseman's stay in Queens.
Astros manager Joe Espada made it sound like a reunion with free agent Alex Bregman is possible despite their stalled negotiations.
Meanwhile, Alex Bregman has drawn plenty of interest from teams, most notably the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers. The Red Sox could potentially meet the demand of Bregman's $200 million contract desire, but the thong is that Rafael Devers might not be willing to give up third base.
One of the top free-agent sluggers is heading to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays and outfielder Anthony Santander have agreed to a five-year contract worth more than $90 million, CBS Sports HQ's Jim Bowden confirmed Monday.

Outfielder Anthony Santander, who slugged 44 home runs for the Baltimore Orioles in 2024, agreed to a five-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

Alex Bregman, Jack Flaherty, and Pete Alonso, most notably – but with Anthony Santander and Tanner Scott finally signing and Roki Sasaki coming to a decision, most of the most important decisions for this offseason have been made.
