Remember that levsources twitter account that claims to be an insider? The one that proclaimed Sasaki was signed with the Blue Jays then deleted their account when wrong? Well they reactivated their account afterwards and started claiming that Alonso was signing with the Blue Jays. Guess what they just did again?

Bregman to the Jays?

Dang that is a solid deal

So its Bregman, trade or nothing. I really hope they dont do something stupid and get Verdugo.

 

[habamillions]

Alex Bregman knows what he wants — and is holding out for it

Top remaining free agent Alex Bregman is getting creative short-term offers but is still waiting for someone to meet his expectations.

Top remaining free agent Alex Bregman is getting creative short-term offers but is still looking for (and expecting) six-plus years. Teams involved include the Cubs, Red Sox, Astros and Tigers.

Astros GM Dana Brown suggested a lack of optimism on Bregman, though word is they’ve come up from their reported $156M, six-year offer from November.

Bregman is a rare 30-year-old seemingly unaffected by the qualifying offer. The Pete Alonso-Mets negotiations are a reminder how much the qualifying offer/draft pick attachment changes the equation.
