With free agency winding down, Pete Alonso's future appears to be with the New York Mets. Despite aiming for a larger contract, Alonso's market hasn't materialized as expected. Rumors suggest he's likely to accept a deal around $70 million over three years, reflecting the dwindling interest from other teams. Content creator Robbie Hyde predicts Alonso's return, highlighting his value as a homegrown talent and power hitter for the Mets.
With Jack Flaherty recently coming off the board to the Detroit Tigers in free agency , the top two free agents left on the market are Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso , and there isn't a close third-place player.Bregman's market is still quite hot. The infielder is likely to land a deal worth north of $150 million, but Alonso's market isn't quite the same.The slugger likely won't land a deal worth $100 million or more.
'He's a homegrown talent, fan-favorite, and they need his power bat in the middle of the order with Juan Soto.'It seems inevitable that Alonso returns to the Mets at this point. His agent, Scott Boras, played the waiting game and the league passed him by. Alonso will now suffer the impact of being the last first baseman off the board, which is going to lead to a contract much smaller than he reportedly wanted.
