The Toronto Blue Jays missed out on Pete Alonso and have pivoted right away back toward Alex Bregman, who remains available.

The Blue Jays missed out big Wednesday night as Pete Alonso agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Mets despite reports that he was closing in on a deal with the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays have put in a six-year offer to Alex Bregman, according to MLB insider Hector Gomes

Bregman has been getting a ton of interest in the past few weeks, including the Chicago Cubs reportedly making him a four-year offer worth more than $100 million, but it looks like he is still seeking deal term of six years at a minimum.

According to MLB insider Hector Gomes, the Blue Jays have put in a six-year offer to Bregman despite the total of the contract having yet to be announced, which means they have the longest offer on the board as of right now.

Despite the Blue Jays having the longest-term offer on the table, that does not necessarily mean he is coming to Toronto as fans saw with Alonso, who took a smaller deal to return to New York.

Hopefully, Ross Atkins can figure out a way to persuade him to come as he is their last hope in landing another All-Star this offseason.
