According to sources, Alonso's proposed deal has opt-out clauses that allow him greater flexibility, which is standard practice for contracts negotiated by Boras, known for crafting complicated deals that favor the player. Notably, this offer seems to be exclusive to the Mets, with no reports of competing interests from other teams. This exclusivity raises questions about Alonso's market value and the Mets' willingness to engage in serious negotiations.
