The regular season leads teams to focus on the offseason, especially on identifying free agent targets. Notably, the first base class has emerged as stronger yet notorious for aging players.
Peter Alonso stands out as a premier power hitter with a consistent track record, hitting over 30 home runs every full season of his career and expected to pursue a contract well over $200 million.
Walker, seizing his chance at age 28, developed into one of the top all-around first basemen, showcasing how players can flourish when given the opportunity.
The Mets are expected to make Alonso a qualifying offer, but after declining a significant extension, a more substantial contract pursuit seems likely, with benchmarks set by recent first base deals.
