The New York Mets held their first winter event for fans in five years, marking a significant moment for the team, though it was overshadowed by the absence of star first baseman Pete Alonso. This absence is notable as Alonso, who has been integral to the franchise since being drafted, is now a free agent. While he has expressed interest in potentially returning on a three-year deal, negotiations are complex due to financial considerations. Players like Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo have voiced their support for Alonso, emphasizing the team's desire to welcome him back.
"Pete's been here since I've been here. He was here before me. So, yeah, it would be different if he goes somewhere else. Yeah, it would be different."
