Blue Jays get surprising Alex Bregman free agent update image

The Toronto Blue Jays are in on Kyle Tucker.

The Blue Jays are in on Bo Bichette.

And they're in on... Alex Bregman?

That's what MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported late Thursday night.

"Sources believe the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks may be the two most aggressive clubs in the hunt for Bregman, though a Red Sox reunion remains a possibility," Feinsand wrote in a new article.

It's not immediately clear how the pieces might fit together here.

It seems the Blue Jays couldn't possibly sign Bregman and bring back Bichette. Maybe the Bregman interest is in the premise that they think Bichette is going to leave.

If the Blue Jays ended up with Bregman and not Bichette, Ernie Clement could slide to shortstop (or second with Andres Gimenez going to short) while Bregman would play third base.

Toronto might be able to sign both infielders if Tucker ends up elsewhere, but that's not totally obvious, either.

Mostly, it's just an eye-catching report.

The Blue Jays have been linked to a bunch of guys this offseason.

Bregman hasn't really been one of them.

But after this, it's one more rumor mill for Blue Jays fans to keep track of.
