Part 6/9:
The forthcoming decisions on Pete Alonso's future are particularly intriguing. There are strong indications that the Mets—led by executives including David Stearns—are eager to re-sign him. The anticipation surrounding Alonso's contract situation raises discussions about verbal agreements or frameworks already in place, implying that both parties aim to keep the franchise's core intact.
Moreover, Sean Manaea's returning presence in the pitching rotation is essential—a capable arm bolstering the team's competitive edge. If the Mets can successfully lock down both Manaea and Alonso, their financial commitments will continue to soar, nudging closer to $1 billion in total off-season spending.
