They&#8217;re heavily tied into superstar outfielder Juan Soto as well as top pitchers Blake Snell and Corbin Burnes.<\/p>\n<p>But one of the players they&#8217;re very closely connected to, for very good reason, is the longtime fan favorite Met, Pete Alonso.<\/p>\n<p>Alonso, 29, spent the first six years of his big league career with the Mets before entering free agency this winter. During his time in the Big\u00a0Apple, Alonso slugged 226 home runs in 846 games.<\/p>\n<p>MLB.com&#8217;s Mark Feinsand doesn&#8217;t seem to think his time with the Mets is over.

The Mets fan base has been aggressively pushing for it, but as everybody knows, money rules everything.<\/p>\n<p>If the Mets sign superstar Juan Soto, it&#8217;s unlikely they will find the money to re-sign Alonso. Spotrac projects\u00a0Alonso to land a contract worth $174 million. A lot of this has to do with the other moves Steve Cohen and the Mets make, but it&#8217;s obvious the fan-favorite first baseman is near the top of the priority list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Mets will have an expensive offseason, especially if they ink fan-favorite slugger Pete Alonso back to a contract worth nearly $200 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":9608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9607","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 -
