Pete Alonso's Short-Term Proposal Keeps Mets Negotiations Open

The free-agent slugger has offered the Mets an exclusive three-year deal with opt-out clauses, but no agreement has been reached.

Pete Alonso, represented by agent Scott Boras, has proposed a three-year contract with opt-outs exclusively to the New York Mets, signaling a willingness to compromise on his earlier long-term demands.
The Mets have yet to respond to Alonso's offer, with reports indicating the two sides are not close to reaching an agreement despite ongoing discussions.
Alonso's market appears limited, as many teams have already filled first-base positions, leaving the Mets as the most logical destination for the four-time All-Star.
The proposed deal, if accepted, would allow Alonso to re-enter free agency sooner, potentially securing a larger contract if his performance improves over the next few seasons.
The Mets face a decision on whether to re-sign Alonso to bolster their lineup, especially after signing Juan Soto, or explore alternative options like shifting players or pursuing other free agents.
