A new week brings with it a new round of MLB rumors connecting the Boston Red Sox to New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso.<\/p>\n

\u201cPete Alonso, they should absolutely sign \u2026 He is the guy who fits. He is a guy you spend on,\u201d WEEI\u2019s Rob Bradford said Friday.<\/p>\n

So how much would that cost the Red Sox? The New York Post\u2019s Mike Puma has a ballpark figure.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlonso, who turns 31 in December, is expected to seek a contract of at least seven years \u2014 a length consistent with deals the player\u2019s 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),\u201d Puma wrote Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cChapman 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)\u00a0worth $54 million before the 2024 season,\u201d Puma noted. \u201cBut weeks before he could have opted out, Chapman agreed to a six-year contract worth $151 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

So is Boston ready to drop nine figures on the two-time Home Run Derby champion?<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, Red Sox fans can contemplate chasing after the biggest free agents on the market and not worry that they\u2019re deluding themselves or setting themselves up for more disappointment,\u201d Masslive.com\u2019s Sean McAdam wrote Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean that the Red Sox are guaranteed to sign, say, Pete Alonso or some front-line starting pitcher this winter,\u201d McAdam continued. \u201cIt\u00a0does<\/em>\u00a0mean that they will consider nine-figure deals for premium talent \u2014 as they did for the first 15 or so years of the John Henry ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to keep building this thing and hopefully we take the next step next year,\u201d vowed team president Sam Kennedy last week, according to McAdam.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I have seen as a player and what I\u2019ve 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\u2019t a problem,\u201d added chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, per McAdam.<\/p>\n

Alonso said after the regular season ended he will\u00a0opt out of his contract\u00a0and\u00a0hit the open market.<\/p>\n

A five-time All-Star, Alonso was a free agent last winter and didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Alonso, a home-grown Mets star, spent seven seasons in Queens. This year he became the\u00a0franchise\u2019s all-time home run leader, surpassing eight-time All-Star\u00a0Darryl Strawberry.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Alonso hit 38 home runs this season, which was\u00a0eighth-best\u00a0in the majors, and\u00a0drove in 126 runs, second only to Philadelphia Phillies slugger\u00a0Kyle Schwarber.<\/p>\n

Several reports during the 2025 season\u00a0linked Alonso to the Red Sox,\u00a0who saw\u00a0first baseman\u00a0Triston Casas\u00a0go down in May with a season-ending knee injury.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
