"SNY's Andy Martino, however, said it best: It's too early to make any sort of legitimate call on where the Mets' all-time home-run king will be playing baseball in 2026. He did, however, add that his hunch was that Stearns and owner Steve Cohen would be happy to welcome Alonso back in 2026, albeit with a significant increase in at-bats at designated hitter."
"I've grown up in this organization, Alonso, a Mets draft pick and now the franchise's greatest slugger ever, said. What I've done here, I'm really proud of the mark I've left. I want to be the best teammate and the best player I can possibly be. Not just for the people here, but for the franchise and the fans. It'd be great, but we'll see what happens."
Industry chatter is pushing to move Pete Alonso from the New York Mets this offseason despite only being two weeks into the MLB winter. Media outlets cited Mets president David Stearns' emphasis on run prevention and a scout's suggestion that the team could let Alonso walk to change clubhouse culture. Reporting and insiders vary, but mutual interest in a multi-year deal between Alonso and the Mets endures. Alonso opted out of the second year of his bridge contract, expressed deep attachment to the franchise, and could return in 2026 with an increased role as designated hitter.
