The New York Mets have reportedly changed their stance about trading their superstar slugger.
, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, who was hired by the organization in October, initially had no intention of trading superstar first baseman Pete Alonso. However, Stearns and the Mets are now under the impression that trading Alonso at the trade deadline would not hurt their chances of re-signing him in free agency.
Stearns' predecessor, general manager Billy Eppler, who was forced to resign in October for manipulating the injured list, which came with a penalty of a one-year suspension by MLB, fielded calls from other teams regarding Alonso's availability last summer, but talks never progressed with any club and the Mets held onto their star.
As of May 29, the Mets have found themselves at 22-32 and in fourth-place in the National League East, 15 games back of the first-place Philadelphia Phillies.
