The New York Mets don't like where their negotiations with Pete Alonso have gone. As a result, they have their minds fixed on life after him if that's what it
The New York Mets are stuck between a rock and a hard place in Pete Alonso negotiations. Here are their dream lineups for 2025, depending on the Alonso outcome.
Alonso loomed over New York's "Amazin' Day" at Citi Field on Saturday, despite not attending the event. The fans could not contain their love for Alonso at the event, starting a chant for the first baseman that Mets owner Steve Cohen had to address.
New York Mets owner Steve Cohen announced the team's decision to move on from Pete Alonso and explore other free agents, citing unsatisfactory contrac
To hear New York Mets owner Steve Cohen tell it, he is not close to re-signing free agent first baseman Pete Alonso for one reason. “And a lot of it is, I don’t like the structures that he presented to us. I think it’s highly asymmetric against us, and I feel strongly about this,” Cohen told fans (and reporters) at Amazin Day on Saturday.
Reports had surfaced in mid-January that Alonso had offered the Mets a three-year deal with opt-outs, with the Mets being the only team to receive that contract structure. Likewise, Sammon and Ken Rosenthal had reported that Alonso's market was heating up, with the Blue Jays and an unidentified third team joining the Mets in contract talks.
Alonso, who like Juan Soto is represented by agent Scott Boras, has been a fan favorite since arriving in 2019, when he hit a rookie-record 53 home runs.
Boras is running a decade-old playbook to try and get his client paid, but the game has changed.
New York Mets owner Steve Cohen sharply criticized the negotiations with free agent first baseman Pete Alonso in a public event with fans Saturday.
New York Jets owner Steve Cohen revealed that Pete Alonso rejected a three-year deal worth $68-70 million, sparking social media backlash. Fans support Cohen's transparency and fair offer, while also criticizing Alonso's performance inconsistency.
