Pete Alonso has reportedly given the Mets an exclusive opportunity to sign a short-term, three-year contract that includes opt-outs. This offer is a significant concession for the 30-year-old, who previously turned down a seven-year, $158 million contract extension from the Mets. This new deal could serve both parties well, allowing Alonso to recover from a down season while potentially aiming for a lucrative free agency if he performs well.
A deal like this for Alonso provides a win-win; the Mets get to deepen their lineup with a key player alongside stars like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Alonso, on the other hand, stands a chance to set the franchise's career home run record, being just 26 home runs away from tying Darryl Strawberry's all-time mark, while also having opt-outs for further contracts.
