Reds could develop as dark horse Pete Alonso landing spot as free agency drags on

How about long-shot Reds as a Pete landing spot? Could the Reds pursue Pete Alonso? It’s probably a long shot, but with Alonso’s market not developing as expected, word is Cincy may consider it. It’s unusual for a star free agent to go from baseball’s biggest market to its smallest (tied with Milwaukee).But Cincinnati, with its smallish ballpark, might be a nice spot for Alonso to re-establish value on a deal with early opt-outs. The Angels and Giants are among others to check in on Alonso. The Astros are apparently still willing to do the $156M, six-year deal they reportedly offered Alex Bregman in November, but he’s still hoping not to be cut from his $28.5M 2024 salary. Bregman also has a lucrative six-year offer (with an opt-out after the first year) from a team that may not be not be high on his list. The Cubs, who’ve already added his old Astros teammates Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, look like a possible landing spot, while the Red Sox and Tigers are among others involved. Folks made something out of Marcus Stroman unfollowing the Yankees on social media.

But as of now, they still hadn’t found a trade for him....
