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.

Pete Alonso and the Toronto Blue Jays have been linked since the New York Mets appeared to move on from their homegrown talent. The Mets reportedly offered Alonso a three-year, $70 million deal, which he rejected.
