Pete Alonso's Free Agency Sparks Interest From AL West Teams Amid Mets' Hesitation

The Mets' reluctance to offer a long-term deal has opened the door for teams like the Angels and Mariners to pursue the power-hitting first baseman.

Pete Alonso remains unsigned as the Mets hesitate to offer a long-term contract, citing concerns about his age and reliance on power hitting.
The Angels are reportedly evaluating Alonso as a potential addition to bolster their lineup, with discussions highlighting his value as a power hitter.
The Mariners have been predicted by analysts to offer Alonso a three-year, $90 million deal to address their offensive struggles from the 2024 season.
MLB insiders suggest the Mets could retain Alonso with a short-term deal featuring a higher annual salary, but uncertainty remains over his future in New York.
Alonso's ability to perform in the New York market and his consistent power-hitting make him a valuable asset, though his market value may decline the longer he remains unsigned.
