Pete Alonso's Future with Mets Uncertain as Contract Talks Stall

Negotiations between Pete Alonso's agent Scott Boras and the Mets have reached an impasse, with Alonso reportedly regretting past decisions and rejecting a Blue Jays offer.

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.
