The Toronto Blue Jays finished a disappointing 2024 season with a record of 74-88, which landed them in last place in the American League East.
After making the postseason in 2022 and 2023, the Blue Jays finished with their first losing record since 2019 and missed the playoffs.
The offseason started slowly for the Blue Jays after missing out on free agents Juan Soto, Corbin Burnes and Roki Sasaki, but is beginning to pick up with their signing of Anthony Santander.
While signing Santander is a good start, the Blue Jays hope to land even more talent before the start of the 2025 season.
“The Blue Jays have expressed interest in Pete Alonso and Jurickson Profar, per Mark Feinsand,” B/R Walk-Off wrote on X.

The Blue Jays proved they have money that they are willing to spend.
Alonso has played all six seasons of his MLB career for the New York Mets.
In 2024, Alonso played in all 162 games and batted .240 with 34 home runs, 88 RBIs and a .788 OPS.
Profar debuted in 2012 with the Texas Rangers and has played for four teams in his 11-year MLB career.
In 2024 with the San Diego Padres, Profar played 158 games and batted .280 with 24 home runs, 85 RBIs and a .839 OPS.
Either player would be an improvement to the Blue Jays roster, and they will be a team to keep an eye on as the 2025 season gets closer.
