Approximately eight teams are considering Pete Alonso, primarily looking for shorter-term, opt-out laden contracts, reflecting a shift in market willingness for long-term commitments.
The Mets prefer a short-term deal with Alonso, contributing to the ongoing contract negotiations. The length of the deal appears to be a crucial point of contention.
Alonso, seeking a six-year deal valued at $150-180MM, faces market challenges due to a shift in team priorities that devalue defensively-limited sluggers.
Despite hitting 34 homers, Alonso's performance in a down year and defensive limitations lead teams to hesitate on making a substantial commitment.
