Part 2/7:
One of the most pressing issues for the Mets heading into spring training is the uncertainty surrounding first baseman Pete Alonso. As of now, Alonso remains unsigned, which has left a significant question mark over the infield configuration. Mike Puma notes that if the situation remains unchanged, Mark Vientos is likely to shift to first base, creating an opening at third base. This could mean that players like Brett Baty, Luis Auniá, and Ronnie Mauricio will need to step up and prove their readiness for the big leagues. The team and fans alike are hopeful that a contract agreement can be reached quickly to provide stability.
