Part 5/9:
Should Alonzo decide to accept the Blue Jays' offer, the Mets must pivot and evaluate their first-base options. Currently, potential candidates include Mark Vientos, who has some minor league experience at first base, and the possibility of bringing in other free agents like Anthony Rizzo or even trade options with the likes of Lamonte Wade Jr. or Ty France.
The potential loss of Alonzo raises questions about the Mets’ depth and future strategies. Vientos may not be the ideal choice at first base, but he could be a cost-efficient alternative as the organization explores other avenues for improvement.
