If the Mets let Alonso walk, they can either bring in a new first baseman or move Mark Vientos to first, opening third base for a potential acquisition such as Bregman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_4ultjvxjo\">Should Alonso sign on with another team, the Mets could look to 33-year-old veteran first baseman Christian Walker as a cheap stopgap option on a two-to-three year deal. But Walker will be in high-demand and isn&#8217;t a long-term piece given his age.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_462undjji\">If the Mets want to fill both corners of their infield in the long-term, signing Bregman to play third base and moving Vientos to first base is a realistic route they could take.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_6l4bf21tw\">However, Bregman has been rumored to be seeking a deal ranging between $150 million to $350 million, so the Mets would have to dish out significant money to land him.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_kqmyi8k7k\">And if the Mets are able to ink Soto to what is expected to be a historic contract beginning with a six or seven, it remains to be seen whether they would be willing to commit to Bregman on a substantial deal in the same offseason.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5fpwer303\">The likelihood is that Bregman is a backup plan for the Mets if they don&#8217;t net Soto. Should this prove to be the case, signing Bregman and Alonso could suffice, or signing Bregman and shifting Vientos to first could be another logical direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Mets currently have their sights set on free agent superstar outfielder Juan Soto, but first base is still a question mark with Pete Alonso on the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11189,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PREDICT: If Pete Alonso were to walk in free agency, who will replacement for his at Mets via trade?
