Pete Alonso Expected to Sign Three-Year Deal with Mets
New York Mets' first baseman Pete Alonso, a free agent, is expected to sign a three-year, $93.3 million contract, which, while not meeting his initial $200 million aspiration, would set a record for average annual value among first basemen. Alonso's free agency has been marked by a sizable gap between his demands and the Mets' offers, though recent negotiations suggest a compromise is possible. The Mets are also considering adding Anthony Santander to their roster, though there is skepticism about his ability to replace Alonso's offensive impact. Alonso's situation is indicative of a broader trend among free agents seeking short-term, high-value deals with opt-outs, a strategy that might be adopted by other players like Jack Flaherty and Anthony Santander. Despite Alonso's recent lackluster season, his postseason performance has maintained interest from eight teams, although many expect him to stay with the Mets. The ongoing negotiations reflect Alonso's significant value to the team and his fanbase, despite the initial impasse in contract discussions.
