Overview

  • Mets owner Steve Cohen expressed frustration with Scott Boras's negotiation tactics, calling the discussions more challenging than those for Juan Soto's deal.
  • Alonso reportedly rejected a previous seven-year, $158 million offer from the Mets in 2023 and is now reconsidering his decision to hire Boras as his agent.
  • Talks with the Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly faltered over deferred salary terms, with Alonso expressing a desire to return to the Mets instead of signing with Toronto.
  • Alonso's situation has drawn parallels to Alex Bregman, another Boras client who rejected a lucrative offer and now faces limited options in free agency.
  • Alonso remains unsigned as spring training approaches, with the Mets leaving the door open for a potential reunion despite budget constraints and unresolved contract terms.
