Pete Alonso Stays Loyal to Scott Boras Amid Contract Negotiations

Pete Alonso, the star first baseman for the New York Mets, is facing a challenging free agency, having reportedly turned down a three-year, $70 million offer from the Mets while seeking a contract worth around $200 million. Despite speculation that Alonso might fire his agent Scott Boras due to the lack of lucrative offers, sources indicate that Alonso is committed to continuing his relationship with Boras and has instructed other agents not to contact him. Mets owner Steve Cohen described the contract negotiations as exhausting, even more complicated than the previous negotiations for superstar Juan Soto. Fans at a recent Mets fan fest expressed their desire for Alonso to return, yet the situation remains uncertain as the offseason progresses. While there are rumors about Alonso potentially moving to the Toronto Blue Jays, their offers also appear insufficient. Alonso's reluctance to sever ties with Boras, despite the tumultuous negotiation period, may indicate a belief in Boras's long-term strategy for securing a more favorable contract in the future.
