Houston Astros Expected to Pursue Mets Pete Alonso in 2025 Free Agency

Chivas is struggling in the 2025 Liga MX Apertura with only 4 points from six matches, prompting speculation about the future of head coach Gabriel Milito. Diego Alonso, a Uruguayan coach with extensive Liga MX experience, is considered the leading candidate to replace Milito if the team's performance does not improve. Despite pressure, Milito remains determined to continue coaching and only leave if he feels the team needs new leadership. Meanwhile, in Major League Baseball, Pete Alonso, the New York Mets' star first baseman, is preparing to enter free agency after the 2025 season, with expectations that he will decline his player option. The Houston Astros have emerged as a surprise suitor for Alonso despite recent investments in Christian Walker, signaling their willingness to spend to enhance their roster. Alonso, who had a strong 2025 season with 30 home runs and 108 RBIs, is expected to attract interest from multiple teams including the Mets, Astros, Texas, Boston, Seattle, and the Yankees.
