Part 3/7:
Pete Alonzo's Future: Mets or Elsewhere?
While discussions surrounding Bregman unfold, Pete Alonzo's position is also shrouded in uncertainty. Although he is perceived as likely to remain with the New York Mets, significant gaps in contract negotiations persist, particularly concerning the number of years offered. Alonzo is an offensive powerhouse, but Mets' management has been reticent to offer long-term contracts to players approaching or over the age of 30.
Potential alternatives for Alonzo include the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Angels. While these may not be the top choices, the looming negotiation deadlock has left room for surprises. If the Mets and Alonzo can't bridge the gap financially, it could lead to a shift in focus for both parties, paving the way for his exit.
