At 30, Alonso's performance has declined, making it challenging to find a market for his services. His situation parallels that of Matt Chapman, who also faced a long free agency and ultimately settled for a significantly less lucrative deal after disappointing seasons. Alonso's struggles in producing offensively compound the uncertainty around his future in Major League Baseball.
