Alonso will now make $30 million in 2025, the highest one-year contract for a first baseman in MLB history. The 30-year-old is destined to opt-out next winter to once again test the market and try to cash in on a long-term deal like Matt Chapman and Blake Snell just did.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_q381rh8tx\">The Mets blew past the $301 million luxury tax threshold by signing Alonso. They will now have to pay a hefty amount in penalties after team owner Steve Cohen decided to exceed his targeted payroll budget to make room for the club&#8217;s homegrown star to return.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_tl10a7g6q\">New York also brought in second baseman and third baseman Nick Madrigal last week on a split contract.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_i1n3zfl9l\">However, Iglesias holds value with his versatility and can play shortstop as well. The Mets don&#8217;t have a backup shortstop to Francisco Lindor on the roster unless Luisangel Acuna breaks camp with them for Opening Day.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_r1mrwfhef\">Iglesias, aka Candelita, would be a major addition to the Mets&#8217; clubhouse with his leadership and vibes. It also means the latino pop sensation would be bringing his 2024 hit single &#8220;OMG&#8221; back to the squad.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"style_1y6if9u-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zpeemjsuz\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1806878727856407012&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fmlb%2Fmets%2Fnews%2Fsources-mets-made-one-year-offer-to-jose-iglesias&amp;sessionId=9d13323393b311430b2e1a93b2e51d493d408a53&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1806878727856407012\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_wrkek2f5j\">\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nwxg4iwai\">The Mets re-signed Sean Manaea, Jesse Winker, Ryne Stanek and now Alonso. They lost Luis Severino but added Juan Soto, an MVP caliber generational slugger, in December. They&#8217;re essentially running it back for another year with a fun team that was two wins shy of making the World Series.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7mxgsb9mn\">Their goal now is to finish what they started last October.
