Pete Alonso's contract negotiations with the New York Mets concluded with a two-year, $54 million agreement following a pivotal meeting between Alonso, owner Steve Cohen, and agent Scott Boras. Despite lengthy discussions through Boras, direct dialogue shifted the dynamics. Cohen emphasized his desire to ensure Alonso felt valued, while Alonso aimed for a longer-term deal. Cohen noted the challenge of negotiating with Boras and expressed satisfaction with the outcome, highlighting Alonso's significance to the team and its fanbase.
Had a great conversation over a few hours and, frankly, Pete did all the talking. Scott didn't say a freakin' word the whole time.
We wanted [Alonso] back. He's been a great Met for a long time, he's a fan favorite, and I thought there was a real opportunity to sit down with him.
