The New York Mets are still seeking to trade first baseman Pete Alonso, despite other teams filling their first base positions. The Mets are reportedly willing to wait for the right offer for Alonso, even if it takes until the last minute.
through signings and trades this offseason, the Mets remain the clearest team with a hole.
