Alonso Rejects Mets' $158M Extension Offer

The Mets' bid to secure Alonso long-term falls short as the star first baseman eyes free agency

Alonso turned down a seven-year, $158 million extension offer from the Mets last June.
The offer was comparable to contracts signed by Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman.
Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, believes Alonso's market value is higher due to his unique attributes.
The Mets discussed trading Alonso last July but ultimately decided against it.
Alonso's future with the Mets remains uncertain as he approaches free agency.
