Pete Alonso
Playoff pumpkin picker Pete Alonso slashed .240/.329/.459/.788, for the lowest OPS of his career. And then he saved the season with a homer in Milwaukee and posted a .999 postseason OPS. He’s 29. Sluggers historically do not age well, and his defense at first. The thing is he led the Mets—and all MLB first basemen—in home runs with 34. David Stearns’ philosophy hasn’t been to spend money on first baseman. But he’s also been the been the most productive player the Mets have had since he debuted in 2019.
Recommendation: Re-sign.
