The Toronto Blue Jays are among top teams chasing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, seeking a star hitter and leader.

The Toronto Blue Jays are actively pursuing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, joining the Red Sox, Cubs, and Diamondbacks in the race, according to multiple reports. While Bregman’s market has cooled with the Tigers showing lukewarm interest and the Cubs focusing on Matt Shaw, the Blue Jays remain a top contender due to their need for a top-tier hitter and clubhouse leader. Bregman, 31, posted a .273/.360/.462 slash line with 18 homers and a Gold Glove in 2024. The Blue Jays have already signed Dylan Cease and bolstered their bullpen, signaling a major offseason push. Bregman’s final decision is expected soon, with team fit and contract terms likely key factors.
