Part 6/8:
The Mets, in their pursuit of Alonso, have made considerable overtures to show their interest clearly. They publicly stated their desire to bring him back, assuring him that they would match fair offers from other teams. Yet, with Alonso reportedly dismissing their attempts, it prompts the organization to reconsider their future direction if he is unwilling to accept a fair deal.
Comparatively evaluating Alonso’s market value against other first basemen highlights a disparity. While some view Alonso as a premier talent who deserves top dollar, the reality is he might be better off positioned within the price range of players like Christian Walker, who recently secured a deal lower than what Alonso desires.
