Part 1/6:
The Current State of Pete Alonso and the Mets
As the baseball offseason unfolds, the New York Mets find themselves in a precarious situation regarding their star player, Pete Alonso. Discussions surrounding his contract status are ongoing, and both sides appear to have differing views on what a potential agreement should look like.
From the Mets' perspective, there seems to be a reluctance to offer a long-term deal that matches the financial expectations set by Alonso. After turning down a significant $158 million contract from the Mets a year and a half ago, Alonso is likely seeking an offer that aligns more closely with his perceived value in the current marketplace. A number being floated around is $138 million, which still might not meet the aspirations of Alonso.
