"Ultimately, the two sides agreed to a short-term deal that includes a player opt-out after this season, which Alonso is almost guaranteed to exercise."
"Alonso is currently hitting .295 with a .974 OPS, 17 home runs, and 63 RBIs, and has been a consistent force in the middle of New York's lineup."
"It's hard to imagine what the Mets' offense would look like if Alonso had ended up signing elsewhere this past winter."
"I hope that the business side works out to be that way... It’s really rare for a guy to spend his whole career with one team."
The New York Mets' decision to re-sign first baseman Pete Alonso for two years and $54 million is showing signs of brilliance as he vies for the 2025 NL MVP. Currently boasting a .295 batting average, .974 OPS, along with 17 home runs and 63 RBIs, Alonso is an essential element of the Mets' lineup. The contract includes a player opt-out after the season, but discussions for a longer-term deal could occur, as Alonso expressed a desire to potentially finish his career with the Mets, provided business considerations align favorably.
