Someone said MLB agents have recently been informed they cannot contact Pete Alonso. This would have to be initiated by Alonso himself. Evidently, Alonso wants to continue working with his agent Scott Boras without hearing from other agents looking to poach him.

Lots out there today. Pete Alonso & Max Scherzer could be fits for the Blue Jays in time. But sources tell Shi & me that there’s no momentum toward a deal on either player right now. Wouldn't be accurate to say talks are progressing.

With Roki Sasaki's decision hanging in the balance, do you think Blue Jays execs are chatting to reporters about how they’ll maybe trade away their franchise player? If you're reading about the Mets & Vlad Jr., there's really one team it could have come from. Seems like Mets want that out there.
