Part 5/8:
Recent developments indicate a tightening market for first basemen. The Houston Astros, for instance, recently signed Christian Walker, effectively closing the door on one potential landing spot for Alonzo. The New York Yankees appear to be leaning toward less expensive alternatives, showing little enthusiasm for Alonzo while exploring players like Paul Goldschmidt and Carlos Santana. Even trades for available first basemen could potentially divert teams away from pursuing Alonzo.
