Pete Alonso expressed enthusiasm about returning to the New York Mets, valuing the team's belief in him since his early career. After a private meeting with team leadership, he signed a two-year, $54 million contract. Although it wasn't the long-term deal he hoped for, Alonso prioritized playing for a winning organization with a strong culture and good relationships. He highlighted the significance of this decision amidst personal challenges due to hurricanes affecting his hometown, reaffirming his commitment to the Mets and the New York stage.
Honestly, why I would be angry? For me, this organization has believed in me since I was a 21-year-old kid. They're the team that drafted me.
This is a great group, with a great culture and great people. I've made a lot of great relationships here.... It's very special. So, that weighed in my decision.
