Mets Holding Firm On Pete Alonso's Offer
According to Andy Martino of SNY, the New York Mets are "holding the line" on both the length and dollars of their proposed offer to free agent Pete Alonso. Martino noted that this proposed contract is a short-term offer that likely includes an opt-out after the first year. The Mets have been linked to several alternative options, such as Jesse Winker and Anthony Santander if they could not sign Alonso. In addition, the Mets could also deploy several younger options in the infield, such as Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio, if Alonso were to sign somewhere else. Last summer, Alonso went deep 34 times and posted a .240/.329/.459 line. While this was his lowest home run total during a full season, he still generated an elite 13.2% barrel rate and 46.4% hard-hit rate, which suggests he could be due for some significant regression in 2025.
