Part 6/8:
The Mets reportedly made an initial offer of three years, a deal that many interpret as insufficient given Alonzo's potential. According to estimates, his asking price may align more with $24 to $25 million annually over a five to six-year term, which would secure him in his prime years. Such a deal would serve both parties, ensuring Alonzo receives a contract reflective of his previous performances while allowing the Mets to navigate their financial commitments strategically, especially with other rising salary figures on the roster.
