The Blue Jays offer to free agent Pete Alonso has apparently now gone up
The Blue Jays have been in talks with Alonso for quite some time now and are seen by many as the favorites to land him after the Mets held a press conference in which owner Steve Cohen stated that their are pursuing other options.
According to the most recent update, the Blue Jays and Alonso are drawing in very close on finalizing a deal as they have raised their offer to $90 million on a three year term which would pay him $30 million per season.
It's late, but here's your Alonso update:
The deal I claim is done is basically set to sign. Financials in the 3/90 range. Boras and Jays waiting for Pete to get to signing.
So yes, it's not totally «done» but it's basically right there
I'll wait for the people to complain

MLB insider Steve Phillips agreed that if the Blue Jays are able to close on Alonso, fans could seriously start to have hope for this team being one of the top teams in the MLB next season.
"If they get [Pete Alonso], you can start to dream a little bit about this team. I think it's a great fit."
