Reports suggest Pete Alonso is considering a short-term deal with opt-outs due to a lack of aggressive offers, similar to what other players faced last offseason.
Alonso turned down a Mets extension offer worth $157MM for seven years, seeking to exceed recent deals for Freddie Freeman and Matt Olson, which complicates his current market.
The market has been cautious towards one-dimensional right-handed hitters like Alonso, who excels in home run power but lacks strong defensive and baserunning skills, affecting his value.
While historic power hitters like Cabrera and Pujols secured over $200MM, Alonso's current prospects illustrate a more conservative approach by the league toward players of his profile.
