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.
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.
