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?
 

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.
 
Feels like Bregman is getting increasingly unlikely but I hope we just blow his socks off with an offer
I don't even care if he sucks in the last couple years of it, I just want to do something more

You’ll care in a couple years when you’re watching another Springer but this time one that makes even more money.
 
They need to trade for another bat. Signing Bregman to a long term deal shouldn’t even be considered.
 
They wouldn't even have to consider Bregman if they hadn't been stupid enough to let Chapman leave
Chapman signed for relatively cheap, but he bet on himself with the opt out and it paid off.

Even assuming he would have taken the same deals from the Jays that he signed with SF, he would either be gone now after opting out, or they would have him for $150 million from age 32-37.

Bregman's a year younger, so if you're concerned about Bregman declining in the back half of the contract...
