To Pete Alonso or not to Pete Alonso? That is the question…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The New York Mets continue to stand at a crossroads with Pete Alonso.<\/p>\n

It has been an undeniably successful offseason for Steve Cohen, David Stearns, and the Mets front office, but they risk upsetting the vibes if Alonso doesn’t re-sign. The four-time All-Star at first base is a beloved figure in Queens. He has, in many ways, defined Mets baseball since his arrival. Juan Soto is nice and all, but without Alonso’s bright personality, the Mets clubhouse would feel almost empty.<\/p>\n

Scott Boras, infamous MLB superagent and Alonso’s chief negotiator, has engaged in a dogged back-and-forth with the Mets front office. The talented slugger is willing to accept a three-year deal with opt-outs, but the structure and compensation are evidently not pleasing to the Mets brass.<\/p>\n

Here is what Cohen said about Alonso’s protracted free agency over the weekend:<\/p>\n

"I don't like the negotiations. I don't like what's been presented to us."<\/p>\n
