"If I had a nickel for how many times everyone in this room has said that I'd be really, really rich, Alonso, who set the franchise's all-time home run record last month, said. We'll see what happens, but I'm a firm believer that the right thing is going to happen. You can't necessarily control destiny, you can't control what-ifs. But again, this place has been really special for me Playing here at Citi is awesome. It's super fun. The fans are awesome, super passionate."
"The 30-year-old slugging first baseman can opt out of his two-year, $54 million contract this offseason, and has every right to do so behind 37 home runs and 122 RBI a brilliant bounceback season after a muted 2024 campaign tanked his market, forcing him to settle for a two-year deal rather than the long-term, $200 million-plus contract he and Scott Boras were looking for."
Pete Alonso can opt out of his two-year, $54 million Mets contract this offseason after a 37-home run, 122-RBI bounceback season. Alonso is 30 years old and set the franchise's all-time home run record last month. The Mets fell out of a playoff spot for the first time since April 5 after a 3-2 loss to the Nationals. Six games remain and the Mets still have a mathematical path to the postseason despite a poor stretch since mid-June. Alonso signed a two-year deal after a muted 2024 that lowered his market, foregoing a long-term, $200 million-plus contract pursuit. Playing at Citi Field and its passionate fans has been important to Alonso.
