Free agent first baseman Pete Alonso is getting a cold shoulder from several teams, who have reportedly pivoted to signing future free agent Vladimir Guerrero Jr. after the 2025 offseason. The Toronto Blue Jays star will be a free agent next offseason and even the Mets, who want to sign Alonso, are rumored to be in talks for a potential move with the Blue Jays for Guerrero Jr.
Mets sportscaster Evan Roberts sparked a potential Vladimir Guerrero Jr. trade by asserting that the Blue Jays slugger is better than Alonso. However, he did mention that the Blue Jays won't trade him since they want to re-sign him.
"The Blue Jays could be in the race. But if they fall out of it, then yes, they might entertain trades before the deadline," Roberts said Sunday on WFAN (25:30 onwards). "What would they ask for? Drew Gilbert, Brandon Sproat, Jett Williams, Ronny Mauricio, and Blade Tidwell. That’s a lot. What would I offer? Nolan McLean, Blade Tidwell, and maybe another mid-level prospect.
