"For a second consecutive winter, Pete Alonso's future with the New York Mets will be up in the air as the slugging first baseman announced after Sunday's season-ending loss to the Miami Marlins that he will opt out of the remaining year of his contract and become a free agent. Nothing's guaranteed, but we'll see what happens, Alonso said. I've loved being a Met. Hopefully, they've appreciated me the same."
"Instead, they settled on a two-year, $54 million deal that awarded him $30 million in 2025 with an opt-out. His bet on himself worked. Alonso had a monster season despite the Mets' historic collapse that saw them miss the postseason with a 4-0 loss to the Miami Marlins. Playing 162 games for the second straight season the first Met ever to do that he batted .272 with an .871 OPS, 38 home runs, and 126 RBI."
Pete Alonso announced he will opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent after the 2025 season. He signed a two-year, $54 million deal that included a $30 million 2025 salary and an opt-out clause after a previous failed pursuit of a long-term, $200 million-plus contract. Alonso played all 162 games for the second straight season, batting .272 with an .871 OPS, 38 home runs and 126 RBI, and set the Mets' career home run record with his 253rd blast. Alonso's strong season amid the team's second-half collapse should increase his market this winter.
