Shortly after it was learned earlier this week that the Toronto Blue Jays had agreed to a five-year deal worth at least $92.5M with outfielder Anthony Santander, TSN's Scott Mitchell reported that free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso was "still in play" for the Blue Jays even though it's believed they want to sign first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The Toronto Blue Jays have finally signed a marquee free agent after continuously striking out this winter. They could make another splash after seemingly waiting until the last minute to kick off the offseason.

The addition of Santander, who hit 44 home runs with the Baltimore Orioles last season, follows the deep-pocketed Jays’ failed pursuits of Shohei Ohtani last offseason and of Juan Soto, Corbin Burnes and Roki Sasaki this winter.
