Part 2/7:
Recent buzz about Alonzo potentially landing with the Blue Jays intensified after it was reported that the team was seeking to sign either Alonzo or outfielder Jerks and Profar to boost their lineup. Ultimately, Profar signed a three-year deal with the Atlanta Braves worth $42 million, which many are dubbing a steal given his potential in a weak free agent market.
This news, paired with the increasing speculation about Alonzo, fueled discussions on social media about a possible three-year, $75 million deal with Toronto. However, most of this dialogue appears to be speculative guessing rather than grounded reporting.
