Blue Jays Eye Turner and Martinez in Offseason Moves

The Blue Jays target Justin Turner and J.D. Martinez while the Cubs eye Pete Alonso in an active MLB offseason.

Major League Baseball`s offseason is heating up as teams strategize for the upcoming 2025 season. The Toronto Blue Jays are actively pursuing free agents Justin Turner and J.D. Martinez to fill the gaps left by Matt Chapman and Brandon Belt. Turner, who had a standout season with the Boston Red Sox in 2023, is expected to make a decision soon, with the San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, and Chicago Cubs also in the mix for his services.

The Chicago Cubs are making significant roster adjustments, recently signing Japanese left-handed pitcher Shōta Imanaga and reliever Hector Neris to strengthen their pitching staff. However, they are still on the lookout for a powerful bat, with Pete Alonso emerging as a key target. Despite previous negotiations with the Mets falling through, Alonso`s market remains dynamic, and the Cubs could be poised to make a move.

Noah Syndergaard, a free-agent starter, has attracted interest from approximately 16 teams following a promising bullpen session where he showcased improved velocity. The San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates are among the teams reportedly interested in adding Syndergaard to their rotations.

As the 2025 MLB season approaches, it is set to kick off with a two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18-19. The regular season will commence on March 27 and run through September 28, featuring exciting events like the "Rivalry Weekend" from May 16-18 and the 95th All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta.

The Boston Red Sox are focusing on acquiring lower-cost pitchers to enhance their depth, targeting players like Jakob Junis and Ryne Stanek. Meanwhile, the New York Mets are facing significant changes in their rotation, with key pitchers like José Quintana and Luis Severino heading for free agency, and the future of Pete Alonso remains uncertain after he rejected the Mets` last contract offer.
