"He hit a screaming line drive with the bases loaded in the Mets' season-ending loss to the Marlins Sunday that went for an out. He wore Francisco Lindor's eye black for luck, even though loanDepot park is a domed stadium. And all those months ago, he came back to Flushing on a two-year deal, even though he was looking for a longer contract."
""I've grown up in this organization and what I've done here, I'm really proud of the mark I've left. I want to be the best teammate and the best player I possibly can be, not just for the people here but for the franchise and for the fans. So, yeah, it'd be great (to come back) but again, let's see what happens.""
After playing his 162nd game of the season, Pete Alonso confirmed he will exercise his player option and enter free agency at season's end. He is the Mets' career home run leader with 264 homers and has 712 career RBIs, third in franchise history. Alonso slashed .272/.347/.525 with 38 homers and tied for the second-most RBIs in a single Mets season with 126. Edwin Díaz has an opt-out and will consult his family before deciding. Teammates praised Alonso's performance and impact, while the Mets' approach to re-signing him remains uncertain.
