Mets Face Uncertainty Over Pete Alonso Contract as Trade Options Emerge

With Pete Alonso's future in New York in doubt, the Mets consider trading for Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins to fill a potential void.

Pete Alonso rejected the Mets' latest contract offer of three years, $70 million, fueling speculation about his departure.
The Toronto Blue Jays and other potential suitors remain interested in Alonso, creating competition for his signature.
The Mets are exploring a trade for Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who has a player option for $18 million in 2025, as a contingency plan if Alonso leaves.
Hoskins had a challenging 2024 season but still managed 26 home runs and 82 RBIs, numbers that would have ranked high on the Mets' roster last year.
Alonso's decision carries implications for his legacy, as staying in Queens could solidify his place as one of the Mets' all-time greats.
