Lucky fans will get to meet some of their favorite players, and plenty of them hope Pete Alonso is one of them.

“The Mets made what they perceived as a last-ditch effort to sign Pete Alonso by offering him a three-year contract in the $68 million-$70 million range, and when that was rejected, began their pivot away from their slugging first baseman, The Post has learned.”

3:05pm: The Blue Jays have been known for a while to have interest in free agent first baseman Pete Alonso. Andy Martino of SNY reports today that talks between the two sides are “advancing,” though he cautions that nothing is done yet and it can’t be certain that a deal will be completed.

The latest rumour du jour came courtesy of the New York Post’s Jon Heyman, who said the Jays are the “most likely fit” for three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer. Heyman went as far to suggest that Scherzer could arrive as part of a package deal with former teammate Pete Alonso.

With negotiations with homegrown slugger Pete Alonso stalled, the Mets appeared to have moved on to Plan B, signing a top-tier reliever (left-hander A.J. Minter) and bringing back Winker.

The New York Mets have been trying to re-sign Pete Alonso, but as opening day approaches they still have not agreed to terms with him.
