"Toronto has already been a major player in free agency this offseason, though the additions have come on the pitching side. The club snagged one of the top starters on the market in right-hander Dylan Cease. They locked down reliever Tyler Rogers on a three-year deal. In a year with several intriguing arms arriving from overseas, the Blue Jays landed one of the highest-upside options in."
"Boston is reportedly pushing for a Bregman reunion. The third baseman opted out of a three-year, $120MM deal with the club after one season. He had a strong campaign with the Red Sox, providing middle-of-the-order thump to go with steady glove work. Chicago is back in the mix after coming up short last year. The Cubs reportedly offered Bregman a four-year deal this past offseason, though the total value fell short of his agreement with the Red Sox."
"Toronto's current plan at third base seems to be a combination of Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, and Davis Schneider. Clement will be penciled in at second base with Bichette hitting the market. Barger is the top option for third base duties, at least against righties. Schneider could pick up second base reps against lefties, with Clement sliding to third. Infielders JoJo Parker and Arjun Nimmala are among Toronto's top prospects, though they're unlikely to contribute at the big-league level for a few more years."
The Blue Jays have contacted Scott Boras about free agent Alex Bregman and are among suitors that include the Red Sox, Cubs, and Diamondbacks. Toronto has focused on pitching signings this offseason, adding starter Dylan Cease and reliever Tyler Rogers. The club has also been linked to several notable hitters such as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, and Bo Bichette, with Bregman now a reported target. Boston seeks a reunion after Bregman opted out of a three-year, $120 million deal following a strong season. Toronto currently projects Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, and Davis Schneider at third base while prospects JoJo Parker and Arjun Nimmala develop.
