"Pete Alonso is reportedly finalising a blockbuster $155million deal with the Baltimore Orioles. A five-time All-Star with the Mets, Alonso was unsurprisingly the subject of interest from a host of teams during the MLB Winter Meetings. But it is the Orioles, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan, who have won the race to add him to their lineup, doing so a day after missing out on Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber."
"Alonso led MLB in home runs in his rookie season with the Mets, hitting 53. While he has not matched that tally since, Alonso posted the best batting average (.272) of his career last season, a year in which he also topped 100 RBI for the second time. He tallied 126 RBI in 2025, five fewer than when he led the National League with 131."
Pete Alonso is leaving the New York Mets after seven seasons to join the Baltimore Orioles on a $155 million contract that pays $31 million per year and includes a limited no-trade clause with no opt-outs. Alonso is a five-time All-Star who led MLB with 53 home runs as a rookie and won a Silver Slugger Award in 2025 after posting a career-best .272 batting average and 126 RBI. Baltimore aims to boost its offense after a 75-87 season and recent postseason appearances in 2023 and 2024. Alonso's departure follows other Mets losses, including reliever Edwin Diaz.
