Yankees Pursue Free Agent Pete Alonso

News summary

The New York Yankees are intensifying efforts to retain superstar Juan Soto while simultaneously exploring backup options, including free agent Pete Alonso of the Mets. Yankees GM Brian Cashman confirmed that the team has engaged in discussions with Scott Boras regarding Alonso, who had a strong season with 34 home runs and is seen as a potential replacement for Anthony Rizzo. The Yankees' interest in Alonso is contingent on the outcome of the Soto negotiations, as they prioritize retaining their star outfielder, who is seeking a contract potentially worth up to $700 million. Meanwhile, other teams such as the Mets and Red Sox are also eyeing Alonso and other pitching talents like Max Fried. The Yankees are focused on bolstering their roster after falling short in the World Series, emphasizing the need for talent acquisition this offseason. Cashman has already secured a deal with Gerrit Cole, aiming to build a competitive team for 2025.
