Overview

• MLB's Mark Feinsand reports Alonso is likely to decline his $24 million 2026 player option, with Boston labeled a potential landing spot.
• Alonso re-signed with New York in February on a two-year, $54 million contract that included a player opt-out after the first season.
• He has boosted his market with 28 home runs, 101 RBIs and an .862 OPS through 126 games and recently became the Mets’ all-time home run leader.
• The Red Sox profile as a fit due to a season-long void at first base following Triston Casas’ struggles and injury.
• Executives remain cautious about long commitments to first basemen entering age-31 seasons, while factors such as the Padres’ budget, the Giants’ internal options and Alonso’s ineligibility for another qualifying offer shape the field.
