Blue Jays named potential landing spot for $119 million superstar

2 hours ago 1

The Toronto Blue Jays missed the postseason in 2024. With Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. set to be free agents soon, the team could look to capitalize on its window to win with them.

While listing potential suitors for Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand named the Blue Jays as a landing spot.

"If it feels as though the Blue Jays are a potential suitor for every significant free agent, it’s because they are. Toronto showed a willingness to spend big during its pursuit of Shohei Ohtani last offseason, and the Jays have thrust themselves into the Soto sweepstakes," wrote Feinsand. "The Blue Jays had marginal production from third base last season after letting Matt Chapman walk as a free agent, so Bregman would be a solid upgrade. Signing him would also protect Toronto from the potential loss of Bo Bichette and/or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. a year from now."

The Blue Jays adding Bregman serves two purposes for the team. They will be able to compete next season with Guerrero and BIchette and have a superstar on their roster if one of them leaves next winter.

Bregman has been one of the best third basemen in baseball for most of the last decade. He is a two-time All-Star, Gold Glover and Silver Slugger. He is the clear-cut best third baseman on the market. Spotrac projects Bregman to sign a four-year, $119 million deal in free agency. He hit 26 home runs in 2024 and won his first career Gold Glove.

Adding Bregman could be a great addition for the Blue Jays regardless of if they can land Juan Sotoi or not. He has shown he can produce on the biggest stage if the Blue Jays can get into the postseason.
