Part 4/8:
The Mets' Potential Interest
Despite challenges surrounding Alonso’s market, the New York Mets remain a potential landing spot. As Passan and Mark Feinsand report, the Mets might be inclined to offer a longer-term contract with an opt-out clause, allowing both parties to reassess in a couple of years. This could enable Alonso to test the waters again if he performs exceedingly well in the interim.
Discussions around a potential agreement suggest terms could range from a five-year deal worth approximately $125 to $140 million. An alternative could involve a shorter contract allowing for higher annual payments, creating a scenario like that of Cody Bellinger's recent agreement.
