Part 3/6:
Historically, Pete Alonzo's performance has fluctuated somewhat. While he achieved 34 home runs last season, there has been a notable dip from his earlier numbers—40 homers in 2022 and 46 in 2023. His batting average and slugging percentages have also seen slight declines. However, with Soto behind him in the lineup, it's anticipated that Alonzo will enjoy improved opportunities and potentially rebound to a more powerful year.
Mets' Offseason Moves
The Mets have had one of the most productive offseasons in recent memory. Apart from retaining Alonzo, they've significantly bolstered their roster by bringing in Juan Soto and revamping their pitching staff. The focus has been not just on star power, but also on depth in the bullpen and rotation.
