Part 5/8:
Boras' track record is a double-edged sword; while he commands top dollar for his clients, it can also lead to a lack of favorable offers when the market is not as robust as anticipated. Alonso's previous rejection of a seven-year, $156 million offer looms large, especially as he faces recent reports suggesting the absence of other interested teams.
Current Offers and Market Dynamics
The Mets have extended a three-year, $90 million deal that offers Alonso flexibility but may not reach the ideal figures he desires. The contract was unique in its opt-outs, giving Alonso room to explore the free agent market should he choose, yet it raises concerns as to whether he will choose to seek greener pastures.
