President of baseball operations David Stearns&#8217; winter is far from over, though. Could he replace first baseman Pete Alonso with Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.?<\/p>\n<p>Toronto was one of five teams that tried luring Soto away from New York. Since the club&#8217;s pursuit came up empty, Guerrero&#8217;s long-term future with the Blue Jays appears to be in limbo.\u00a0MLB Trade Rumors is estimating\u00a0he&#8217;ll earn $29.6 million in 2025, which is his last season before becoming a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>Will Toronto try to lock him down to a lucrative multi-year deal that\u00a0could surpass $500 million? Or will the Blue Jays instead see what they can get for the 26-year-old on the trade market?\u00a0FanSided&#8217;s Cody Williams mentioned\u00a0four potential trade partners the Blue Jays should consider for Guerrero after missing out on Soto. He listed the Mets, along with the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.webp?w=790&amp;f=d779a8b171f8bbb79823b8426e7eea8e 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.jpg?w=790&amp;f=d779a8b171f8bbb79823b8426e7eea8e 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.webp?w=900&amp;f=d2bb8909a40e8c77cf9d610286308dfd 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.jpg?w=900&amp;f=d2bb8909a40e8c77cf9d610286308dfd 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.webp?w=790&amp;f=d779a8b171f8bbb79823b8426e7eea8e 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.jpg?w=790&amp;f=d779a8b171f8bbb79823b8426e7eea8e 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.webp?w=450&amp;f=e507eb21734b8a6dc32cb0016b95a993 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.jpg?w=450&amp;f=e507eb21734b8a6dc32cb0016b95a993 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.webp?w=1200&amp;f=2c972382d291cb6904df8fd7ba78a12d\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2538945\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2538945\/new-york-mets-first-baseman-pete-alonso.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=2c972382d291cb6904df8fd7ba78a12d\" alt=\"New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\"><span id=\"short-cap-description\" class=\"cap\">SEATTLE, WASHINGTON &#8211; AUGUST 11: Pete Alonso #20 of the New York Mets walks back to the dugout after a strike out in the eighth inning during a game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile&#8230;<\/span>\u00a0<button id=\"read-more-cap\">More<\/button>\u00a0<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">Brandon Sloter\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Even considering the possibility of an immediate core lineup of Soto, Guerrero and Francisco Lindor is enough to send a trickle down the leg of any opposing pitcher,&#8221; Williams wrote. &#8220;What&#8217;s more, with the possibility of Pete Alonso leaving Queens in free agency this offseason as well, the Mets would have a better and younger replacement coming in with Vladdy to fill that void.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Williams also mentioned that locking down Guerrero in Queens for the long haul wouldn&#8217;t be a problem thanks to Mets owner Steve Cohen&#8217;s deep pockets and desire to win. But the situation with Alonso still hasn&#8217;t been resolved. Signing Soto to the richest deal in baseball history doesn&#8217;t mean the Mets are done pursuing Alonso via free agency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;d love to bring Pete back,&#8221; Stearns said on Monday,\u00a0via MLB.com&#8217;s Anthony DiComo. &#8220;Pete&#8217;s been a great Met. He had some enormous hits for us, and we&#8217;ll see where that goes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guerrero is younger than Alonso and has more upside, especially after a 2024 campaign in which he posted a .940 OPS with 30 home runs, 44 doubles, 103 RBI and 98 runs scored. However, Alonso has been one of baseball&#8217;s best power hitters since 2019 and would be cheaper to retain than Guerrero.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be interesting to see where Alonso ultimately lands and how the Mets react if he doesn&#8217;t remain in Queens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report reveals a major hurdle in the New York Yankees&#8217; pursuit of a Kyle Tucker trade that could kill a potential deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":17251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17250","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 -
