“Pete Alonso, they should absolutely sign … He is the guy who fits. He is a guy you spend on,” WEEI’s Rob Bradford said Friday.

So how much would that cost the Red Sox? The New York Post’s Mike Puma has a ballpark figure.

“Alonso, who turns 31 in December, is expected to seek a contract of at least seven years — a length consistent with deals the player’s agent, Scott Boras, completed in recent seasons for Marcus Semien and Matt Chapman at the same age (Chapman received a six-year extension from the Giants after his first season with the club on a different contract),” Puma wrote Saturday.

“Chapman perhaps serves as a guide for Alonso: The third baseman, with a qualifying offer attached, arrived to the Giants on a three-year deal (with an opt-out) worth $54 million before the 2024 season,” Puma noted. “But weeks before he could have opted out, Chapman agreed to a six-year contract worth $151 million.”

So is Boston ready to drop nine figures on the two-time Home Run Derby champion?

“Now, Red Sox fans can contemplate chasing after the biggest free agents on the market and not worry that they’re deluding themselves or setting themselves up for more disappointment,” Masslive.com’s Sean McAdam wrote Friday.

“That doesn’t mean that the Red Sox are guaranteed to sign, say, Pete Alonso or some front-line starting pitcher this winter,” McAdam continued. “It does mean that they will consider nine-figure deals for premium talent — as they did for the first 15 or so years of the John Henry ownership.”

“We’re going to keep building this thing and hopefully we take the next step next year,” vowed team president Sam Kennedy last week, according to McAdam.

“What I have seen as a player and what I’ve seen over the last couple of years is that with this ownership group, when there is a chance to build a winner and a team that can contend for the postseason, resources aren’t a problem,” added chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, per McAdam.

Alonso said after the regular season ended he will opt out of his contract and hit the open market.

A five-time All-Star, Alonso was a free agent last winter and didn’t find a multi-year, nine-figure contract to his liking so he returned to the Mets, who gave him a two-year, $54 million deal with an opt-out clause.

Alonso, a home-grown Mets star, spent seven seasons in Queens. This year he became the franchise’s all-time home run leader, surpassing eight-time All-Star Darryl Strawberry.

The 30-year-old Alonso hit 38 home runs this season, which was eighth-best in the majors, and drove in 126 runs, second only to Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber.

Several reports during the 2025 season linked Alonso to the Red Sox, who saw first baseman Triston Casas go down in May with a season-ending knee injury.
