Mets Still Trying To Bring Back Pete Alonso
4 weeks agoEven after landing the crown jewel of the free-agent market in outfielder Juan Soto, the New York Mets are still trying to bring back fan favorite first baseman Pete Alonso. Even after a few other big names have made the move to new clubs, Alonso remains a free agent with perhaps a bit less interest than expected after somewhat of a down year. With that being the case, the Mets may feel they can bring the 30-year-old back at a more affordable price than anticipated. However, there is still plenty of time to sign and maybe a few more dominoes need to fall in order to provide some clarity on what his possible landing spots are and how much his services should be worth. The Polar Bear hit 34 home runs last season, 12 fewer than in 2023, and his strikeout rate crept up again, yet his wRC+ increased slightly to 122 from 121. Nevertheless, the veteran is durable and should be a reliable source of power again in 2025 fantasy drafts.
