Pete Alonso Faces Uncertain Future as Mets Negotiations Stall
The Mets' star slugger and free agent Pete Alonso is reportedly leaning toward a return to Queens, but unresolved contract disputes and limited market interest complicate the situation.
- Pete Alonso has reportedly rejected multiple offers from the Mets, including a three-year, $70 million deal and a six-year, $158 million offer made in 2023.
- The Mets remain Alonso's primary suitor, with the Toronto Blue Jays emerging as the only other serious contender, though no deal has been finalized.
- Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, has faced criticism for his negotiation tactics, which some believe have limited Alonso's options in free agency.
- Mets owner Steve Cohen has expressed frustration with the negotiations, calling them 'exhausting,' but has left the door open for a potential reunion.
- With spring training approaching, Alonso's decision is expected soon, as the Mets weigh their roster options and fans eagerly await a resolution.
