"Free-agent slugger Pete Alonso, most recently of the New York Mets, will meet with the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox on Tuesday at Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings. Mike Puma of the New York Post, who was first to report, added that it was unclear if the Mets will also have a meeting with their all-time home run king."
"The Red Sox have been considered a suitor for Alonso for the past year, even when a long-term, big-money offer never came to fruition, which ultimately forced the Polar Bear to take a two-year deal with an opt-out after 2025 worth $54 million to stay in Queens. Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reported on Sunday that the Red Sox are being highly regarded by Alonso as a potential landing spot this offseason."
Free-agent slugger Pete Alonso will meet with the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox at Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings, with it unclear whether the New York Mets will also pursue him. Alonso previously signed a two-year, $54 million contract with an opt-out after 2025 to remain in Queens. The Red Sox are considered a strong suitor and have been active in free agency, adding Alex Bregman and reportedly eyeing other veteran targets. The Orioles, after a disappointing 2025, added Taylor Ward and Ryan Hesley and could envision a platoon with Ryan Mountcastle. Alonso's market appears stronger than last year, and agent Scott Boras may seek a six- or seven-year deal exceeding $200 million.
