A new report about the free agent chase for Pete Alonso may offer renewed hope that the New York Mets can avoid losing their homegrown star in MLB free agency.<\/p>\n
This has been a very productive last few weeks for the Mets. To begin the month, the organization made a couple of interesting additions to the rotation when they signed veteran innings eater Frankie Montas, and former Yankees closer Clay Holmes.<\/p>\n
Then they made the biggest move this offseason by luring superstar outfielder Juan Soto away from the Bronx and to Queens on a massive $765 million deal. Now, they will look to sure up other parts of the roster and focus on who will play first base in 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n
New York would love that to be four-time All-Star Pete Alonso. He is a beloved member of the roster. But previous contract talks hit a stalemate over concerns inking the 30-year-old to a long-term deal. Since various data show that is a high-risk decision for a first baseman who is 30 or older.<\/p>\n
It has started to seem more likely that he could take his talents elsewhere in free agency. However, a new report about his current free agent market seems to improve the chances of a return to Flushing.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Alonso\u2019s] profile frightens teams. A 30-year-old, right-handed-hitting and -throwing first baseman. Teams are hesitant to give him a long-term deal,\u201d ESPN<\/em> MLB insider Jeff Passan wrote on Thursday. \u201cAt the same time, they see great value in adding him for the next few years. The Mets could still bring him back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alonso allegedly turned down a seven-year, $158 million offer from the New York Mets in 2023. They are unlikely to make a similar offer with David Stearns now overseeing the team. However, with the team in striking distance of a World Series title, they could make a different offer.<\/p>\n

Pete Alonso contract (Projection):\u00a0<\/strong>Seven years, $220 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Mets could instead try a shorter-term deal with a higher annual average and see if that can persuade the first baseman to return. If no team is willing to give him a longer deal, New York would certainly have the advantage in a battle of short-term offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
