It looked like the Toronto Blue Jays had dodged a bullet when super star slugger Kyle Schwarber turned down an offer from the Baltimore Orioles and re-signed with the Philadelphia Phillies. But about 24 hours later, the Blue Jays were put on high alert again, as the Orioles apparent back up plan was a player that is just as capable of putting the ball over the wall as Schwarber.
Pete Alonso, is reportedly in agreement with the Orioles, giving the Blue Jays another major player they have to contend with in the always daunting AL East.
