They are also still kicking tires on four-time All-Star Kyle Tucker.And, while still looking to sign one, or perhaps both players, GM Ross Atkins and his staff may also be considering another very valuable hitter in Alex Bregman.Bregman, who is one of the best players available on the free-agent market, spent the 2025 season with the Boston Red Sox. The 31-year-old finished the year hitting .273 with 18 home runs and 62 RBI, numbers which helped him get named an All-Star for the third time in his career."I don't think the Blue Jays are done, I think they...
