No Deal Close Between Pete Alonso And The Mets
According to league sources, free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso's representatives have offered the New York Mets a three-year deal with opt-outs, and the deal is only available to the Mets right now. However, no deal is imminent, and Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, declined to comment on the situation. Many teams have already found their answer at first base this offseason, but Alonso remains on the open market and hasn't gotten any long-term offers to his liking. At this point, a return to New York, even though the Mets signed superstar outfielder Juan Soto, is the most likely outcome. The 30-year-old right-handed slugger known as the Polar Bear had a down year offensively by his standards in 2024 with 34 home runs, 88 RBI and a .788 OPS, which were all career-lows. However, he's been extremely durable and remains a good bet for 30-plus homers again in 2025, regardless of where he's playing.
