The last free week of Major League Baseball is about to begin, before players begin to report for MLB Spring Training in 2025, and there are still some gems available in free agency, a list headed by Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso, who have had a complicated winter market, despite the fact that it was expected that they would quickly get their new deal.
Although the two infielders have had offers from several teams, they have not been finalized. On the one hand, Bregman flirted with a return to the Houston Astros, while Pete Alonso did the same to extend his adventure in Queens with the New York Mets, but in both cases negotiations remain stalled.
The main problem for the hitters has been the strategy recommended by their agent Scott Boras, in seeking a long-term deal, Bregman wants seven years and Alonso is looking for five years.

“The Blue Jays have offers for Pete Alonso (three years) and Alex Bregman (six years). The Jays are interested in signing either of them,” Gomez posted on his X account.
The next step for the player who takes the Blue Jays offer will be to agree on the length of the contract and the salary figure, but at this stage they could be more flexible, as Spring Training is just around the corner
