• Alonso said "We'll see what happens" and expressed belief that "the right thing is going to happen," while praising Mets fans and Citi Field.
• He is widely expected to exercise the opt-out in his two-year, $54 million contract and enter free agency after this season.
• Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Nationals may have been his final home game as a Met unless New York advances deep enough in the postseason to host again.
• The Mets enter the final week tied with the Reds for the last NL wild-card spot, with Cincinnati holding the tiebreaker and six Mets road games left in Chicago and Miami.
• Alonso boosted his market with a bounce-back year cited at 37 home runs and 122 RBI, while reports question whether New York will commit long-term given prior mega spending.
