The Mets' standoff with Pete Alonso ended with the reunion both needed

The New York Mets have agreed to a two-year deal worth $54 million with star player Pete Alonso, including an opt-out clause after the first year. This contract allows Alonso to position himself for a potentially larger contract in the future, having rejected a longer three-year deal worth $71 million. This decision reflects Alonso's confidence in his performance and the mutual benefits for both the player and the team, making the agreement well-received without significant criticism.
