Blue Jays Engage Scott Boras as Interest in Alex Bregman Intensifies

Overview

• The Athletic reported team officials recently spoke with Alex Bregman's agent, Scott Boras, signaling active interest.
• ESPN's Jeff Passan said the Blue Jays are "in the mix" for the free-agent third baseman.
• If signed, Bregman would remain at third base, with Ernie Clement moving to second and Addison Barger shifting to right field to optimize defense.
• The Red Sox, Cubs and Diamondbacks are also involved in Bregman's market, and no deal has been reached.
• Toronto has already lifted payroll beyond $270 million with pitching additions, and a Bregman contract would likely rule out concurrent pursuits of Kyle Tucker or a Bo Bichette return.
