Part 2/7:
As the negotiations have unfolded, Alonso and the Mets find themselves at an impasse. The Mets appear to be under the impression that there is no other team that is willing to offer Alonso what he desires, thus reinforcing their stance. They have indicated a readiness to explore alternative options, suggesting potential signings such as Jesse Winker and Tanner Scott, as well as the possibility of moving Mark Vientos from third base to first, should an agreement with Alonso not materialize.
