3:05pm: The Blue Jays have been known for a while to have interest in free agent first baseman Pete Alonso. Andy Martino of SNY reports today that talks between the two sides are “advancing,” though he cautions that nothing is done yet and it can’t be certain that a deal will be completed.

With negotiations with homegrown slugger Pete Alonso stalled, the Mets appeared to have moved on to Plan B, signing a top-tier reliever (left-hander A.J. Minter) and bringing back Winker.

Since the Mets' apparent pivot, another Alonso suitor, the Toronto Blue Jays, made their first major signing of the offseason, adding outfielder Anthony Santander on a five-year, $92.5 million contract. While the Blue Jays could still add Alonso, it's unclear if they would shell out another major contract for a power hitter like Alonso.
