Listening to Jim Bowden on MLB radio this weekend, he made an interesting point in regards to Alonso, he said that what Boras will quite often do if they don’t get the offers they want on long term deals, they will pivot to look for short term deals with higher AAV with opt outs and look to re-enter the market in a year or two.
So maybe an option for the Jays if they can’t land Bregman, which I think is a long shot, then they can target Alonso on a short term deal. They can play Vlad at 3B, Alonso at 1B, with DH days for both. They would also need Santander for any of it to make sense.
I doubt it would happen, but it would be a better scenario than Moancada.
