As Pete Alonso explores options, speculation grows about a potential return to the Mets despite past negotiation hurdles.
- Pete Alonso's contract negotiations with the New York Mets have remained unresolved since mid-2024, frustrating both the player and the team.
- The Mets' massive $765 million commitment to Juan Soto has complicated their ability to offer Alonso the long-term deal he seeks.
- Insiders suggest a short-term contract with opt-outs, similar to deals by other players, could be a viable compromise for both parties.

- The Mets are exploring alternative first base options but reportedly remain open to Alonso's return if a mutually acceptable deal can be reached.
