Part 3/7:
Alonzo’s apparent reluctance to sign a short-term deal elsewhere suggests that his preference is intact. Reports indicate that the Blue Jays had presented an offer, but Alonzo hasn't made a commitment, reinforcing the idea that a mutually beneficial deal with the Mets could soon be reached. The expectation is that if Alonzo truly intended to explore options with other teams, he would have acted on those offers by now.
Backup Plans: Exploring Trade Options
While the optimism surrounding Alonzo is palpable, CP emphasizes the need for backup plans in case negotiations do not go as hoped. One name that has surfaced is Yandy Díaz, a first baseman from the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mets have reportedly checked in on Díaz, suggesting they might be weighing their options seriously.
